Warship 2024 Success Sets the Stage for 2025

Building on the momentum of last year’s remarkable event, attended by over 230 delegates and hosted in Adelaide, Australia, the 2024 conference set new standards for naval defence collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Anchored by keynotes from influential voices such as Rear Admiral Rachel Durbin and Austal Limited’s Glenn Callow, the event covered a broad spectrum of topics, from autonomous vessel design to disruptive technologies, and drew registrants and speakers from across the globe, including the UK, Canada, the US, Denmark, Sweden, and beyond. Exclusive shipyard tours and dynamic panel discussions solidified the event’s reputation as a critical forum for naval innovation.

What to Expect at Warship 2025

Returning to the United Kingdom, Warship 2025 is set to be our most ambitious conference yet. With the theme “The Future Fleet: Smart Technology, Sustainability, and Autonomy,” the event will offer a rich agenda featuring insightful presentations, dynamic panel discussions, and hands-on workshops. This year’s sessions will explore core themes that are essential to the advancement of modern fleets:

  • Technology to improve availability
  • Glide path to level 4 autonomy
  • Drive toward net zero
  • Blend of crewed/uncrewed – Do future vessels need crews?
