We are honoured to have Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton confirmed to keynote the event, which centres around one of his key priorities of communicating the message that national resilience / homeland defence needs a whole of society approach.  The interest is in what needs to happen to take a country from a peacetime footing into a place of readiness for prolonged conflict.

Themes for the day are:

• Assessing Risks and Threats – for what do we need to be prepared, and how do we need to be positioned to ensure the impact is contained and short-lived? 
• Deterrence in a Contested World – choice, credibility and endurance across all domains
• Whole-of-Nation Response to Resilience – moving from preparedness as policy to preparedness as practice
