Event Update

Due to the ongoing government shutdown, the Association of Old Crows has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s CEMA event. While we explored every possible option to move forward, it has become clear that holding the event this year is simply not feasible.

We are already planning to return next year with the full, on-base CEMA event that our community knows and values. We’ll be working closely with the local team at Aberdeen Proving Ground to confirm dates as soon as they are back in their offices. It’s too early to project specific dates, but we will share them as soon as possible.

For attendees who have paid registration fees, a full refund will be issued using the same payment method received initially. If your registration was free/comped, it will be automatically canceled, and no further action is required.

We want to thank all of our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and partners for their patience, support, and understanding during this challenging time. The CEMA community remains strong, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year—stronger, better, and ready to reconnect in person.

For any questions, please contact our Events Team at [email protected].

CEMA 2025 Summit Theme:  All-Domain Operations in Support of the Deep Fight

Objective: CEMA 2025 advances last year’s narrative of “EW Overmatch” to one of “All-Domain Operations” where division commanders have multiple capabilities at their disposal to achieve shaping or decisive effects in the deep fight. It is the artful combination of human and machine integrated capabilities for crewed and uncrewed teaming and leveraging autonomous platforms and not soldiers to make first contact with the enemy. This summit will focus on the synchronization of manned and unmanned capabilities, while utilizing intelligence sources and advanced sensors to help sense, identify, effect, and facilitate better decision-making to produce the desired advantage.
