The Emerging Voices Series: Strategy, Security & Defence at King’s

Description:

Security & Defence PLuS will host the Emerging Voices Series: Strategy, Security & Defence at King's College London on Thursday 18 June, 2026.

This one-day conference will bring together established leaders and recognised experts with rising and underrepresented voices to explore the future of strategy, security, and defence.

 The Emerging Voices Series, which launched at Arizona State University in March 2026, pairs senior expertise with new ideas and talent, creating space for intergenerational dialogue and forward-looking debate. The series connects scholars and practitioners from across academia, government, private sector and the forces, drawing on the strengths of King's College London, the PLuS Alliance, and the wider policy and security community.

The conference will explore key themes in contemporary security, including leadership and ethics, alliance dynamics and European security, national resilience, emerging technologies, and Indo-Pacific strategic competition.

Speakers, agenda and registration details to follow.

This event will mark the second instalment of the Emerging Voices Series, with a third conferences planned later in the year at UNSW. We encourage in-person attendance where possible, however, live-streamed participation will be available for those unable to attend in person. 

Date / Time:

Thursday 18 June, 2026: 0900-1700 (BST)
