About the May 2025 Event

The Agenda

Two Days of Learning and Networking

AUKUS has brought us new complexities related to the management of export-controlled technologies in Australia.

With significant legislative changes having taken place, and still evolving, the Australian defence sector (both Government and Industry) have been affected. We now need to find effective ways to manage change, remain agile despite new access controls, and work with one another to reduce disruption…

Meet the Hosts

Presented by leading AU and US export controls consultants International Trade Advisors and SAHR, this year’s conference is organised with both industry and Commonwealth stakeholders in mind. Our presentations delve into how evolving legislation has affected the Australian defence sector and what you can do to manage these changes…
