Mission-Critical Experience. Future-Facing Vision.

UNCREWED is driven by founder Mick Turner - a seasoned operator at the intersection of global ocean, defence, and industrial domains.

With a background in the New Zealand and UK Special Forces, Mick brings a rare fusion of tactical precision, operational leadership, and technical expertise to the fast-evolving world of autonomous and uncrewed systems.

His frontline experience spans over 20 years offshore as a Saturation Diver in the oil and gas industry, before advancing into senior technical roles as a CSWIP 3.4U Underwater Inspector Controller and OGP Client Representative. This deep operational insight directly shapes UNCREWED’s mission: to deliver an action-first, demonstration-led showcase of intelligent systems transforming how we operate across sea, air, land, and space.

Beyond the field, Mick is also an accomplished event strategist with a proven track record delivering major industry conferences and expos. He understands how to build meaningful platforms that connect innovators, decision-makers, and real-world capability.

This rare combination of hands-on operational depth and strategic event leadership powers the vision behind UNCREWED - Australia’s Leading Expo for Uncrewed, Remote & Autonomous Systems:
A national-first platform where next-generation technologies come alive.
