2026 ConvergX® Global Congresses…
ConvergX® Global Congress - 10yr Anniversary Edition
September 22 – 24, 2026 Join us for our in-person congress!
Ten Years of Convergence. The Reckoning, and What Comes Next.
A decade ago, ConvergX was built on a simple idea: the breakthroughs that matter happen at the intersections — between sectors, between disciplines, between the people who don’t usually share a room.
Ten years on, the architecture of convergence has matured. Mining operators buy autonomy from motorsports-derived engineering. Healthcare systems procure AI and sensing capability from non-defence sources. Energy utilities source precision technology from agricultural-tech adjacencies. Advanced manufacturing serves defence procurement and commercial OEMs through the same factories. Construction has become strategic industrial capacity. Critical minerals have become sovereignty.
This is the 10-year anniversary congress for the full cross-sector convergence economy.
Defence is one of the sectors in the room — central, but not the destination. Energy, mining, tech, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, medicine, and high-performance motorsports each appear at parity in every panel. Buyers and providers from every sector engage each other directly. Capital flows are mapped across defence-tech, commercial industrial, dual-use, and strategic corporate capital.
Over two days, seven panels, an anchor conversation, and a structured working group produce four published deliverables: a Demand Signal Brief, a Procurement Pathways Map with both defence and commercial sections, a Pilot Opportunity Register, and a Commercial Convergence Opportunities Brief, plus a tracked Commitments Register.
The agenda is built for cross-sector business outcomes — customers, partners, capital, contracts — not for any single sector’s procurement story. The closing question is not what defence wants. It is what every converging sector cannot afford to be missing in 2035.
