The speaker at tonight’s conference dinner is Professor Emily Hilder, Chief Maritime Division, Defence Science and Technology Group, Department of Defence.

Between the plenary sessions and the conference dinner, a Student Poster Paper competition will be held, featuring the engineers and other professional services providers of tomorrow.

“With Australia’s recent commitment to the new trilateral AUKUS agreement, including that Australia will acquire nuclear submarines, the commencement of Indo-Pacific’s leading forum on submarines – the Submarine Institute of Australia conference – is timely,” SIA Executive Director, David Nicholls said.

“The SIA is expecting approximately 250 delegates to attend SubSTEC6, with more than 100 to participate via the live online stream of the event.

“The theme of the conference is: ‘Home grown undersea technology: how can Australian academia and industry provide a capability edge?’.”
