Naval personnel, Government department representatives and other validated end-users

Attendance is FREE for full-time serving naval & military personnel, non-commercial government department representatives and other validated end users. We also have a limited number of spaces for Academia and other notable research institutions upon application.
Examples of other validated end-users include; UN personnel, humanitarian and relief agencies, Emergency Services, Oil, Gas and other utility providers, commercial shipping, cruise ship operators and submarine cable network operators.
If we determine that your organisation does not meet this criteria or provides products, services (including consultancy) or solutions to naval forces you will not qualify for a free pass and must purchase a delegate pass.
Industry Representatives

Industry delegates representing organisations that provide products, services—including consultancy—or solutions to naval forces are granted full access to all conference briefings and the exhibition space with the purchase of a delegate pass. This access offers a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the naval community and remain informed about the latest developments in the sector.
Attending the event as a delegate provides several important benefits. Delegates gain direct access to key end-user decision-makers through the event’s Networking App and can take part in all scheduled networking functions. They also receive detailed insight into future requirements and procurement plans, operational feedback from serving military personnel, and updates on both current and upcoming naval programmes and projects.
