The SME Conference Agenda 2023

In 2023, over the course of one day, we brought together a host of industry leaders to share ideas, debate topics and impart wisdom. As well as keynotes from the region’s stakeholders, leading experts and governmental and military officials, we  hosted panel discussions where we were joined by innovators of future developments and influencers in the region.

The day included three live panel discussions, covering topics vital to advancing the security agenda, with moderators and panelists drawn from relevant industries.

As we secure more speakers, and host discussions with our advisory board we will start to shape the agenda for the 2024 event.
