ASPI's Women in Defence and Security Network (WDSN) is pleased to invite you to our first national security networking event of 2024. 

Hosted in Canberra, this event provides a unique opportunity for individuals working in defence, national security and foreign policy to network in an informal and relaxed environment. The event is open to people working at all levels of government, industry and academia, and is free to attend. 

This event usually involves a mix of early and mid-career professionals, as well as university students interested in a career in national security and foreign policy. These events are highly regarded in part due to attendance of some senior professionals who are invested in supporting the next generation of talent.  

If you are interested in meeting professionals with shared interests and in building your networks, join us on 29 February in Kingston, with drinks and canapes provided.  

ASPI’s WDSN is committed to supporting women seeking to build their networks in the defence, foreign policy and national security community, and is focused on developing - and retaining - a diverse pipeline of talent in national security. While the network has a focus on supporting women to build their networks, we welcome and encourage all interested individuals to attend, participate and lead on these important issues.
