Resilience Conference - London 5-6 October 2025

Shaping the Future of Defence

Resilience Conference London is the leading gathering for the defence and security innovation ecosystem: a place where breakthrough ideas meet the people with the power to scale them.

Designed for founders and investors to meet industry, military, and government leaders, the event is built around purposeful connection. Every conversation and every moment is engineered for high-value interaction, problem-solving, and partnership.

Bringing together the most influential figures in their fields, Resilience Conference is more than an event; it is an active network. Carefully curated panels, high-intensity fireside chats, and dynamic breakout sessions cut through noise and dive into what matters. Live startup demos put the future of defence tech in front of those ready to deploy or invest. Expert editorial curation ensures every voice on stage has earned its place, not paid for it. Leading media presence ensures these stories get told.

At Resilience Conference, you don’t just exchange contacts, you build alliances. You don’t just listen, you contribute and build.

You don’t just attend—you accelerate the future of security and technology.
