The event will consist of plenary sessions in the morning with presentations from senior members of the LDC4 Programme and Defence Digital. These will provide attendees with an overview of the programme, high-level requirements, and high-level timescales.
A series of focus groups will be held in the afternoon where attendees will be invited to discuss a number of different topics which are pertinent to being able to deliver our capabilities in the future.
Within the booking form attendees are requested to select which focus group/s they wish to attend. We particularly welcome attendance in those groups from attendees who have an interest or expertise in these focus areas to support the discussions.
Please note that due to capacity constraints at the venue, we reserve the right to limit participation at this event.
For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is not informing the market of an imminent procurement.
