Royal Australian Navy
Sea Power Conference 2008

Australia and its Maritime Interests: at Home and in the Region

29 - 31 January 2008, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre,Sydney,Australia

 

Invitation

I welcome this opportunity to invite you to attend the forthcoming Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Sea Power Conference 2008, which will again be held as part of the biennial Pacific Maritime Congress and Exposition.

The Pacific 2008 Maritime Congress and Exposition involves three interrelated events:

• The RAN Sea Power Conference 2008, hosted by the RAN and organised by the Sea Power Centre - Australia.

• The Pacific 2008 International Maritime Conference, hosted by Engineers Australia, The Royal Institution of Naval Architects, and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology.

• The Pacific 2008 International Maritime Exposition, conducted by Maritime Australia Limited.

Collectively, the Conferences and Exposition will offer an intensely fulfilling program for all those with a professional interest in maritime affairs.

Now in its fifth iteration, the 2008 Conference will explore the broad theme of Australia and its Maritime Interests: at Home and in the Region. Its aim is to examine maritime interests in the Indo-Pacific region and their impact on the roles and activities of maritime forces.

I have invited speakers who will present a range of perspectives in a creative and provocative way to generate greater discussion of the challenges facing navies in the early 21st Century.

The Conference program has been designed to permit delegates to visit the many industry displays in the Exposition itself, and to conduct informal professional discussions with exhibitors and fellow delegates. The Conference fee includes free access to the Exposition, and access to relevant presentations at the International Maritime Conference. The Conference proceedings will be published and distributed to all delegates after the event.

I strongly commend this most prestigious and comprehensive international maritime event, and invite you to join me at Darling Harbour in Sydney from 29 January to 31 January 2008 for the RAN Sea Power Conference 2008.

R. E. SHALDERS
Vice Admiral, RAN
Chief of Navy
