Event Overview

With a successful 18 year history of running in the US and Europe, SPADE 2022 – the leading “invite only” meeting for senior Defence and Intelligence leadership – will now visit Australia.

SPADE 2022 is where members of the Armed Forces, Intelligence Agencies, Industry, and Academia will convene to examine today’s defence technology and the current efforts toward developing and implementing Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) that is unified, interoperable, and secure from HQ to the Edge.   

SPADE 2022 will feature presentations, panel discussions and fireside chats, as well as expert exchanges with some of the most engaging, collaborative and change-focused speakers and leaders in defence and intelligence.

More than ever, defence organisations must have a clear strategy and understanding of the role technology plays in delivering on the vision of multi-domain command and control. This is at the heart of SPADE 2022.
