We are pleased to announce the inaugural, MOD Official, Defence Infrastructure Conference which will take place at the beautiful One Great George Street venue in Westminster (The Institution of Civil Engineers) on Tuesday 1st July 2025.
Delegate places are free of charge for senior Infrastructure professionals employed within the MOD and Central Government*. Places are limited and will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis – all places must be booked in advance.
“Defence infrastructure exists to enable our armed forces to deliver military capability, force generation, and force projection. This means that our armed forces can protect the UK, project the UK’s global influence and promote UK prosperity. Defence is undertaking the largest renewal of Defence infrastructure in a generation, investing across the UK and overseas in modern accommodation, office space, headquarters, hangers, specialist facilities and more. This will deliver on Defence’s ambition set out in the Strategic Defence Review, and means we offer opportunities to develop surplus land for other purposes such as housing, retail, energy, and community. The Defence Industry Conference 2025 will explore the way ahead, look at the challenges and opportunities to deliver Defence infrastructure, and to contribute to HMGs Plan for Change. Sponsoring the conference provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with senior leaders, raise your profile, demonstrate industry leadership, cultivate opportunity and help shape the way forward.”
A hot buffet lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the day and the conference will be followed by a drinks reception to continue your networking.
