Ladies and Gentlemen

I would like to invite you to attend the Royal United Services

Institute’s autumn 2004 Defence Industry Symposium. Our aim is to

bring together a strong gathering of people who have a real interest in

the key defence industrial issues that are active today. This event will

be a short, sharp look at four specific areas of interest to the defence

community, and will be an opportunity for industry representatives,

either from the floor or from the platform, to express their views about some of these

important subjects. For each of the four issues, the key questions that will be vigorously

debated are: what is the current system? Is it working for everybody? What future

direction is/can be taken to make it work better?

The four subjects chosen for this year’s Symposium are:

1. Modernising Defence: Beyond the Defence Industrial Policy

2. Managing the Equipment and Short Term Plans

3. Defence Logistics

4. Defence Acquisition

Lieutenant General Rob Fulton, Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff (Equipment Capability)

will be opening the debate in an address that will look to the future, beyond the Defence

Industrial Policy. Thereafter the debate will be taken up by senior representatives from

across the spectrum of defence and organizations that link into it, including industry, the

Ministry of Defence, the Treasury, the Defence Logistics Organisation, the National Audit

Office and academia. We are also delighted to have with us four distinguished chairmen,

one for each debate: The Honourable Nicholas Soames MP, The Right Honourable Bruce

George MP, Mr Paul Beaver and Mr Peter Spiegal.

The programme for this event is published in this brochure as well as on the RUSI

website. If you would like to attend, please complete the form overleaf and send it

back to Jane Davenport, the Event Co-ordinator, or fill in the on-line application form

(www.rusi/events). Conference places can run out up to a month before the event and

so an early reservation is recommended. I hope to welcome you here at the Institute

in Whitehall, London, for what should be a fascinating day.
