ADM Congress – 18 February 2026, Hyatt Hotel Canberra

ADM Congress is the flagship national Defence/industry conference run by Australian Defence Magazine, bringing together 500+ senior people from Defence, Government and primes with a strong SME presence. It focuses on future capability requirements, major acquisition programs, sustainment settings and the wider strategic context shaping Defence spending.

Why you should attend:

• It’s where policy and program signals for the next few years are telegraphed – especially useful for those tracking outer-year capital works, estate projects and enabling infrastructure.
• One registration now gives access to three co-located events (AUKUS Pillar II, Defence Financing and Space), which means concentrated access to decision-makers across capability, financing and emerging tech in a single day.
• The networking density (Defence leadership, primes, Tier 1s and key SMEs) makes it one of the few forums where estate, capability and industry strategy conversations actually intersect in the same room.
