Opportunities for Sponsors and Exhibitors

The management of cost, schedule and technical performance has become an increasingly important discipline in today's volatile business environment. More than ever before, Defence, other Government organisations and the wider industry alike require greater adaptability in their approaches to the performance management of their enterprise, programme and project endeavours.

RUSI and MTCA have structured this symposium to provide an open and independent forum for the active, focused and incisive analysis of key contemporary and emerging issues. The symposium will bring together Defence, Government and industry leaders, consultants, analysts and domain experts to present their views and to develop debate, all aimed at improving performance management knowledge and to develop associated decision-making capability.

RUSI and MTCA believe that our cost-effective sponsor and exhibitor packages provide unique opportunities for key organisations to contribute to and support this event. Whether you are seeking to raise your corporate profile or to network with key decision-makers in a relaxed networking environment, this symposium will tackle the most up-to-date enterprise, programme and project performance management issues to support the creation, development and exchange of business links, ideas and solutions.
