techUK's flagship defence dinner: over 280 delegates for informal networking, speeches and dinner, 18:30 to 23:00 in central London. Business attire.
The pitch is straightforward. It is where defence-tech suppliers meet defence stakeholders somewhere that is not a procurement meeting. No speakers are announced on the page. Sponsored by Opswat and Acutest.
Paid: individual member GBP 320 plus VAT, SME member GBP 260, non-member GBP 620, tables of ten from GBP 1,720. The exact venue comes with registration.
defence is the most relationship-gated buying market in UK tech, and one 280-person dinner does the work of a year of cold outreach. Best for commercial and business-development leads at defence and dual-use companies. If you want content rather than contacts, techUK's daytime defence programme is the better evening.
