Australian Defence Export Office - Online pitch training course
In partnership with Marketing Entourage, the Australian Defence Export Office (ADEO) has developed a five week online pitch training course to support Australian defence industry companies looking to better promote their capabilities.
Download the brochure at the bottom of this post.
The program is specifically designed to improve the chances of export success for Australian defence industry companies engaging with foreign military and supply chain companies such as international primes. The training is delivered through a series of webinars, online modules and one-to-one pitch practice sessions.
Companies will be provided with the opportunity to have their pitch reviewed by people in highly experienced Defence and prime acquisition.
The online pitch training course is fully subsidised by the ADEO.
We hope to help all companies in the Australian defence industry, although companies who have who have recently participated in an industry delegation with TDA will receive priority for the first cohorts.
There will be several cohorts across the financial year, commencing 7 September 2020, with around 20-30 companies in each.
We anticipate that it will take around 2-4 hours per week to complete the course, and businesses can have as many people as they see fit complete it together under one registration.
Golf Day 2019
Given the recent Commonwealth Cabinet reshuffle, coupled with the impending State Government elections, we have determined that the best way to provide Members with the most fulsome program for Golf Day is to reschedule it for 19 February 2019. This will enable both Government and Industry key speakers to fully support the event without a number of competing pressures.
So mark your calendars now for AIDN-VIC Golf Day – 19 February 2019!
For those of you who wish to participate as a sponsor, please send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will provide you with details on the sponsorship packages.
