This morning, PeopleIN was proud to host the latest East Coast Forum, a defence networking gathering that brought together leaders across government, infrastructure and private enterprise. The conversation was led by Major General (Ret’d) Adam Findlay AO, PhD, who unpacked how rising global tensions are reshaping Australia’s defence priorities, and why forward planning has never been more critical. With key decision-makers in the room, including leaders from GIICA, Brisbane 2032, NIOA, Wagner Group, McNab and the Queensland Government, this was more than a briefing. It was a call to think critically, act early and collaborate across sectors to strengthen Australia's sovereign future. As a workforce partner already supporting critical national projects, PeopleIN was proud to host the discussion and keep the focus where it matters, capability, readiness and action.
