The event emphasises networking with both attendees and other exhibitors. It’s a unique opportunity to meet members of the Armed Forces community, using the power of the Armed Forces networks to deliver impact.

high-quality talent, meaningful conversations with industry peers, and tangible
outcomes that will positively influence our recruitment and engagement strategy.”
“The NTE is a fantastic event supporting transitioning service personnel, their families
