Did you know IPIA’s mission is to increase understanding of the contemporary #information environment and empower research and development ensuring #Australia is at the forefront of #informationpower?    New to information warfare? We recommend starting your journey with the book Unrestricted Warfare: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America by Col. Quo Liang and Col. Wang Xiangsui. It provides an in-depth look into how the #manipulation of #technology can successfully attack geopolitical super-powers such as the United States from ex-military personnel. 📖 https://lnkd.in/dMAS3A_c #informationwarfare #IPIA #strategy

A week on and we are so proud to have been able to host the Global Information Conference Australia 2024 – Phoenix Challenge in #Adelaide. We had almost 350 delegates register for the event, representing 14 different countries, and the full spectrum of information power professionals – from #cognitivewarfare to #psyops, #security to #strategiccommunications, #researchers to #analysts and #softwareengineers to #educators. Held at the prestigious Adelaide Oval, with follow on working group sessions at the world-class Lot Fourteen precinct, we provided a platform for far-reaching discussions focused on innovating for #deterrence and #readiness in the #IndoPacific. Seeing renowned experts and stakeholders from across the globe collaborating and networking in a city focused on helping accelerate Australia’s information power capability will remain a highlight of the week that was. We’re so grateful to the support of our sponsors and vendors in helping us bring this event to life, in particular Business Events Adelaide, M&C Saatchi World Services, Elysium EPL, the Australian Information Warfare Alliance (including SOIO - School of Information Operations, CyberOps Pty Ltd, DEWC Services), Meltwater and Recorded Future .

What an incredible opening day for the Global Information Conference Australia 2024 – Phoenix Challenge.

Special thanks to the Hon. Matt Thistlethwaite MP, the Hon. Andrew Hastie MP and Senator James Paterson for sharing your insights and perspectives, and for demonstrating the Australian government’s commitment to driving the nation’s information power capability forward. #GIC24 #globalinformationconference #phoenixchallenge #strategicperspectives Business Events Adelaide Elysium EPL M&C Saatchi World Services Anthony Allen Bretton (Brett) Ackroyd Kristie Lavery
