The heart and soul of MAST events – the MAST conference – is organised by an international committee of authoritative and highly respected senior government, academic and industry leaders (the ‘MASTers’).
The committee will set and administer unprecedented, high standards for the MAST conference. The resulting programme – featuring topics and papers agreed by committee consensus – will deliver a unique forum within which specialists can discuss and debate prominent maritime technology and operations issues (not covered by any other event) and work together to solve common problems.
MAST guarantees exclusive access to the world’s leading thinkers on maritime and joint-operations capabilities, concepts and technology.
