| The London Chapter is a mix of Military and Industry Members, with meeting attendance approximately 60% Industry and 40% military. The Military members are drawn primarily from MOD HQ in London, Air Command and PJHQ. The Chapter holds 10 monthly meetings a year with guest speakers from MOD / Government / Industry and Academia. The Chapter also runs a biennial full day Cyber Conference, an annual Corporate Networking Reception and an annual Cyber Dinner.
Purpose of AFCEA London Chapter:

2. Introduce our members to innovators, leaders and policy-makers in the above fields (and associated areas) through hosted talks, networking and social events.
3. Provide the UK Defence Enterprise with an 'honest broker' that is able to facilitate a wide range of activities to achieve the above, working with other similar associations, institutions, worshipful companies and Defence bodies.
4. Champion the adoption of disruptive technology and behaviours in the UK Defence Enterprise that will stimulate the development of game-changing and asymmetric military capabilities, through a programme of: talks, lectures and visits; that focus on future innovation and where appropriate articles in relevant journals.
