We’re pleased to announce that AVLA has officially accepted an invitation from the Defence Language Capability Cell to attend the 2026 Defence Linguist Conference, on 30 November and 1 December 2026.

As part of the invitation, the Defence Language Capability Cell has provided AVLA with an opportunity to present to conference attendees and to staff an information desk in the foyer throughout the conference. This will allow us to engage directly with Defence linguists, answer questions about the association, and share information about the support, professional connections, and opportunities AVLA offers to current and former members of the Defence linguist community.

We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this important event and look forward to building a positive and productive relationship with the Defence Language Capability Cell.

If you're attending the conference, we encourage you to visit the AVLA information desk and introduce yourself. We look forward to meeting current and former Defence linguists, sharing our vision for the association, and hearing your ideas about how AVLA can continue to support the profession.

We are also planning a social event during conference week and will share further details as arrangements are finalised.
