American, British, and Canadian defense and security companies have a shared history of business cooperation and investment that dates back decades and continues today. All sides have prospered from their past and ongoing business relationships. The industries of all three countries are playing an important role in support of their armed forces in Afghanistan where co-operation between the three nations is vital for success.

As the challenges of the global economic situation put pressure on national budgets, there is a desire for yet closer business co-operation between the three nations’ industries.  The objective of this symposium is look at developments in the defense & security markets of the three countries, explore opportunities for the industries to work together and to provide an opportunity to explore those opportunities through face to face interaction with defense and security company representatives from the three countries in a time efficient way.

Delegates from Industry and Government from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom are expected to take part in the conference. Delegates will include senior managers and executives from the private and public sectors.  This symposium is co-hosted by the United Kingdom's A|D|S and the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI)
