Venue: Adelaide (to be confirmed)

Join fellow Defence Teaming Centre members and industry stakeholders for our next Connect@DTC, featuring a strategic update from DTC Chief Executive Officer, Libby Day.

As the defence industry continues to evolve in response to changing national priorities, capability requirements and market opportunities, this session will provide valuable insights into DTC's strategic direction, key initiatives and advocacy efforts on behalf of members. Connect@DTC has long served as DTC's flagship networking series, bringing together defence primes, SMEs, government, academia and professional services to strengthen connections and support industry growth.

During the evening, Libby will share an update on the progress of DTC's strategic priorities, recent achievements, emerging opportunities for members and the work being undertaken to strengthen South Australia's defence and national security ecosystem. Recent DTC strategy discussions have focused on priorities including industry advocacy, workforce and skills development, membership growth, national engagement and supporting members to succeed in key initiatives such as AUKUS and broader Defence opportunities.

This event is also an excellent opportunity to connect with industry peers, expand your professional network and hear firsthand how DTC is working to deliver value for members in an increasingly dynamic defence environment.
