PURPOSE.  As technologies change, so do the tools and tactics of warfighting.  Consider that only 30 years ago there were three dimensions of war:  ground, sea and air.  Today we add cyber, space, and the information environment plus incredible commercial technologies readily available to our adversaries.  The past often provides insights for the future and this certainly applies to technology development and acquisition for defense.   This forum will explore these lessons and its applicability to the future.

ATTENDANCE. Attendance is encouraged for:

• All innovators, technologists, and those interested in understanding and possibly contributing to our national defense.
• Those in the Innovation Ecosystem:  commercial, private, public-private partnerships, academia, investors, DoD and other government personnel with interest in defense.
• The curious.

WHY ATTEND?

• Ask your questions and hear from others in the audience
