The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia will be hosting the 2017 WA Defence Conference, the State’s premiere annual defence conference. The conference will bring together key defence decision-makers, defence experts, supply chain purchasers and prospective suppliers to discuss a range of issues relevant to the defence sector.

Themed “Doing Business with Defence”, the conference will focus on providing insights for WA businesses looking to enter the defence supply chain, and providing advice on maximising the opportunties available for those already involved in defence.
