Will The ZDF Be Interested In The Military IT & Cyberpower Conference In SA Later This Year?

Zimbabwe’s Defence Forces are not the most popular folks in town right now. After getting in the good books of many back in November (remember the coup-not-coup) our military took two steps back in the events that occurred post-elections. I’m sure the majority of us can agree that the violence that broke couldn’t be further from progressive.

Speaking of ‘progress’ this November there will be a two-day military conference on the 8^th and 9^th in Sandton Hotel. The Air Force, Army, and Military Information Technology & Cyberpower Conference will be running under the theme Cyber Vision of the Future: Mission Defence and Trusted Information.

The event will have a specific focus on topics such as:

Build a more lethal force through gaining and maintaining persistent information advantage for the Joint Force.
Assure AFAMITC core missions from threats in, through, and from cyberspace.
Attendees will get first and insights from leading government and industry experts on what challenges Africa is facing in the defence.
Enable effective and efficient integrated awareness derived from rapid processing, exploitation, and dissemination of decision-quality information.
Focusing on the National Defense Strategy implementation
