Understanding upcoming contracts
At defence conferences, delegates will have the chance to learn more about upcoming contracts related to various programmes in simulation, education and training. This is a great opportunity for those who are looking for potential partners or suppliers to complete different types of contracts.

Make the most of your time at a defence conference
Attending a defence conference is an excellent way for business owners in the sector to stay up-to-date on industry trends and prepare for upcoming projects or tenders. Delegates will have the chance to engage with decision makers from various governments who are looking for potential partners or suppliers in order to complete contracts related to their respective training and simulation programmes. When attending seminars or workshops, take notes throughout so that you have something tangible to refer back to when necessary.
Insights you need to know
Learning about upcoming contracts also helps delegates understand the structure of government procurement processes better, allowing you to strategise when it comes to submitting bids on future projects. By understanding how different organisations approach tendering and awarding contracts, delegates can anticipate any changes that may occur during the process and be prepared if anything unexpected arises. This knowledge is especially useful for those involved in simulation and training as it allows them to adapt quickly should any changes arise during the commissioning of a project.
