Theme: Operational Synergy
Join us for this premier conference on Cyber-EW Convergence, where we move beyond definitions and doctrine to focus on real-world combined operations. Originally designed to examine the relationship between cyber operations (CO) and electronic warfare/electromagnetic spectrum operations (EW/EMSO), this event now highlights how IT, data infrastructure, and operational capabilities are driving true integration.
For this year's event, we’ll explore topics such as National-Tactical Interoperability, IC Warfighter Support, Mission Data Integration, Software-Driven Capabilities, Platform One, and CJADC2. Through TS/SCI-level presentations, expert panels, and facilitated discussions, attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge advancements and network with top experts in the field.
