Six civil servants from Defence Digital, a department within the Ministry of Defence, attended the event organised and hosted by Palantir, all of whose professional responsibilities relate to the recent contract awarded to Palantir in December 2025. No Ministry of Defence Ministers attended the event.

Defence does not hold information regarding which other Government Departments’ civil servants attended the event.
