Why attend

Regulated industries urgently seeking secure, mission-critical teams need capability at a scale that ‘hiring harder’ from the same talent pools can't deliver. This is true across aerospace and defence, national infrastructure, cybersecurity and advanced technology.

+

Why current approaches won't scale

How competing for the same candidates will not create the volume of capability the sector needs 

+

Where the next workforce is already working

Talent is just one sector away, with adjacent industries employing people with highly transferable engineering, digital, cyber and technical skills 

+

How to turn potential into deployable capability

Practical steps to converting now, building for the future, or accessing talent differently

+

New research results: what 300+ tech and engineering professionals told us:

Original research from on what professionals think about moving into Aerospace, Defence, and other sectors with similar skills shortages. .

+

What's holding talent back

We sift through which factors are most pressing: visibility, perceived transferability, clearance, location, flexibility and the recruitment experience.
