2. Dear Industry Colleagues,
On behalf of SES Networks, I am delighted to once again welcome you all to SMi Group’s
annual Global MilSatCom conference and exhibition, the prominent military satellite event
in its 20th edition.
The resilience in space, readiness matched with the interoperability and ability to integrate
new technologies quickly and efficiently are the major challenges ahead for the national
defence and security agencies. The critical services that satellites enable, including
communications, connectivity, intelligence gathering, remote sensing and navigation,
or space situational awareness are the backbone for the defence and national security
operations, and our industry keeps on evolving, continually adapting rapid technological
advances and launching innovative solutions to meet the dynamic challenges we face
currently and the emerging threats of the future.
In 2018, we are excited about increasing focus on applications-driven, secure milsatcom
solutions via SES Networks’s unique combination of GEO and MEO satellites; the start of
new era in global cloud-scale connectivity and high power data services with the launch
of O3b mPOWER, which will enable a new realm of secure global connectivity applications
with high throughput and fiber-like performance. These are just some examples of how
we can respond to the changing industry requirements with new ideas and ever evolving
solutions.
This conference is an ideal forum to raise questions, to share the experience and knowledge
among the decision makers from Government and Military, as well as leading international
industry professionals.
Please join us, network and learn more about new breakthroughs in the security and
defence arena.
I look forward to seeing you at the conference and the SES Networks Networking Reception.
Yours faithfully,
Gerard Donelan,
Vice-President Defence & Security,
SES Networks

3. Small Satellites and Disruptive Technology Focus Day
St. James’ Court, London, UK | Chaired by Squadron Leader (Ret’d) Ralph ‘Dinz’ Dinsley, Associate, Reflecting Space
Exploring How Innovation is revolutionising Access to Space
As space-based satellite systems continue to act as a key enabler for terrestrial
operations, the need to access and exploit constellations effectively remains
critical for international military forces. This is reinforced by the growing data and
bandwidth requirements necessary to sustain communications within modern
operations. With new hosted payloads delivering small satellite networks to space at
an unprecedented rate – there is a clear need for a forum that analyses what these
trends mean for the wider SATCOM community.
With this in mind, SMi Group are proud to announce the Small Satellites and
Disruptive Technology Focus Day – which will set the scene for Europe’s Leading
Military Satellite Communication show Global MilSatCom 2018. Exploring how
the next generation of launch capability, research and development of small,
cube, micro and nano-satellites and how military agencies and industry are
collaborating in this new era of SATCOM.
Sure to be an unmissable introduction to the next generation of space
technologies, this year’s focus day is set to become a key calendar date for
anyone in the satellite communications sector.

DELEGATE DETAILS
Payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given
until payment has been received.
Substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not ‘share’ a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your attendance at an event and you are unable to send
a substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a £50 administration charge,
providing that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of
the event. Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide
the conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is
unable to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefings we are not normally
able to provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of
orders placed for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifically to
order. If we have to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately,
but disclaim any further liability.
Alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
