AmCham Business Luncheon: Defence, Space and Security

Queensland is set to launch Australia’s space industry into the global spotlight. Join AmCham for a vibrant discussion between leading figures in the sector including former NASA Astronaut, Pamela Melroy and others who will draw from past experiences and present valuable insights into the future of space development.

Australia’s space industry contributes only 0.8% of the total global market but there is no doubt that Queensland can lead the way in increasing our contribution. In the coming decades, Queensland’s space industry has the potential to influence the Country’s implementation of national security, innovation policy, and the industries in its supply chain.

Engage with industry concepts and projects that are building the foundations to Queensland’s critical role in Defence, Space and Security in the near future.

AmCham’s expert panel of speakers include:

- Pamela Melroy, former NASA Astronaut, Director – Space, Technology and Policy, Nova Systems
- Hon Cameron Dick MP, Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure & Planning
- Darin Lovett, Senior Manager – Systems Analysis Lab (SAL), Phantom Works International, Boeing
- Jim Varghese, Executive Director, Springfield City Group
- Facilitated by Mike Kalms, Lead Partner – Defence Industry and Space, KPMG Australia
