Welcome to MilCIS 2009: NCW—The Way Ahead

Planning is now underway for MilCIS 2009, following the success of MilCIS 2008. Over 600 people attended the conference and exhibition. MilCIS 2009 will be held 10-12 November 2009 at the National Convention Centre, Canberra, Australia.

In 2008, the Defence Chief Information Officer Group (CIOG) partnered with the University of New South Wales, Australian Defence Force Academy in the hosting of the 2008 Military Communications and Information Systems (MilCIS) Conference. As in previous years, the conference facilitated a continuing interface between Dept of Defence, employees, contractors, industry, customers and UNSW /ADFA to discuss solutions that meet the needs of the warfighter — specifically to discuss current and developing technological capabilities, initiatives, and operational requirements.

The Chief Information Officer Group (CIOG) is responsible for providing the Australian Defence Forces and the Department of Defence with a dependable, secure and integrated Defence Information Environment (DIE) that supports operational and management needs. The Group is responsible for planning, building, running and governing Information and Communications Technology (ICT) within Defence in terms of infrastructure and support.

MilCIS is an annual conference aimed at attendees from military and government organisations, academia, and defence industry, who contribute to key decisions in investments in communications and information systems. In addition to keynote presentations, technical presentations, panel discussions and tutorials, MilCIS features an exposition that provides an opportunity for exhibitors to demonstrate new technologies and promote their products and services to attendees. MilCIS is the only Australian conference focussing directly on the crucial technologies, products, systems and services associated with military communications and information systems.
