Southern Lights Disrupt
Southern Lights Disrupt: Capabilities Conference is the launch of a new annual conference in the nation's capital designed to bring together operational government agencies, law enforcement, and defence organisations with specialist suppliers at the cutting edge of technology and capability solutions. This event is a unique opportunity for agencies to discover and engage with disruptive technologies that can enhance mission effectiveness, operational efficiency, and inter-agency collaboration.
In an era where technological advancements are reshaping the landscape of national security, intelligence, and public safety, Southern Lights serves as a platform for awareness, accessibility, and community building. By fostering an open environment, agencies can explore joint ventures, share insights, and develop cross-agency solutions that drive innovation and interoperability.
For vendors, this event is more than just an exhibition - it is a direct engagement space where they can not only showcase their latest capabilities but also provide hands-on training, live demonstrations, and educational sessions to multiple agencies at a single location in the nation's capital. Whether you’re a decision-maker, operator, or innovator, Southern Lights Disrupt: is where future-ready technology meets real-world operational needs.
