Following the success of the 2024 Defence Digital Dialogue, the Trans-Tasman Business Circle is proud to present an exclusive 2025 edition – a dialogue with the digital and technology leadership of the Department of Defence.

Led by Chris Crozier, Chief Information Officer, Department of Defence, this unique event offers the business community a rare opportunity to engage with senior figures shaping Defence’s digital future – including Peter Alexander (Chief Technology Officer), Monique Hamilton (First Assistant Secretary – Group Operations), and Maureen Greet (Assistant Secretary, Commercial Branch, Defence Digital Group).

The session will explore the evolving digital priorities of Defence, focusing on innovation, capability uplift, commercial partnerships, and the alignment of technology with strategic defence objectives. Participants will gain insights into Defence’s digital transformation agenda, including systems modernisation, commercial and procurement reform, and the vital role of industry collaboration in enhancing sovereign capability.

Held under the Chatham House Rule, this off-the-record dialogue will foster open discussion between public and private sector leaders, encouraging candid exchange on shared challenges and future opportunities.

This event is part of The Circle’s ongoing Defence & National Security Series, convening trusted, high-level engagement between industry and government leaders working at the intersection of technology, security, and policy.

This event is open to both members and non-members of the Circle. To discuss membership please contact admin@buscircle.com
