Defence IQ - By focussing on the research and development of specialist defence events, Defence IQ have established a reputation for bringing together speaker panels with a majority of military and government speakers, typically attracting decision making delegates a third of which come from a military background. Our events are unique, tailored opportunities to gain access to influential representatives and professionals and keep up to date with operational and industry initiatives and advancements.
