G'Day G'day

I'm a GCAP regular who is super excited to come back for another year of MIGW and GCAP. Especially looking forward to catching up with old friends and making some new ones in 2023. For new GCAP members, you may ask "Why is someone from the Dept of Defence coming to a games conference?" I'd ask "why not?".

The games industry are leaders in a lot of new and emerging technologies and practices that will affect the way Defence engage with both the public and their own workforce. Technologies such as 3D Visualisation, Simulation, AI, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Analytics, as well as common practices such as refactoring, abstracting concepts, agile and flexible development, and prioritisation. Not being at MIGW, Defence would miss out on what advancements are happening within this space, and could be left behind. With one of the most complex strategic environments we have ever faced, Defence is committed to "lifting it's capacity to rapidly translate disruptive new technologies into capability, in close partnership with Australian industry", and no industry is better at this then the games industry. I'm keen to talk to members about any of the technologies or practices above.

I'm also here as a proud public servant, and here if you have any questions about engagement or interest in engaging with the public service on a whole.
  • How easy or hard is it to engage with the public service? 
  • Where can I go to showcase my company? 
  • Is it worth it given my companies skillsets and size? 
  • How can i get info about the latest tenders? 
I'm happy to have a chat and give some honest feedback about if contract work within the public service might be an option for you.

Hopefully you can say hello, I'll be around all week, including at PAX as well if we can't meet up during GCAP. Whether it's your 1st GCAP or your 15th, it's an amazing week of information, inspiration and opportunities.
