Defense Talks 2024 | Scoop News Group | 22 May 2024 | Andrew W Mellon Auditorium, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20240, USA

The U.S. has entered a “decisive decade” marked by new threats from advanced strategic competitors like China and Russia. With these seismic geopolitical shifts at play, the Department of Defense has placed a greater emphasis on using modern, data-driven technologies to enable better and quicker decision-making to deter and defend against threats from great power adversaries. And, as the U.S. military looks to artificial intelligence-driven concepts like Joint All Domain Command and Control to transform its ability to connect, sense, share information and take action in a rapid manner, data and technology now play an important role in 21st-century defense akin to bombs and bullets.

The event is the nation’s premier gathering of the top uniformed and civilian leaders from the military and C-level leaders from the gov tech community. Join these top decision-makers on May 22, 2024 as they discuss emerging technologies and their potential to revolutionize modern defense. You’ll hear from the nation’s foremost defense experts on the military’s push to JADC2, the development of artificial intelligence to bring speed and precision to battlefield operations, and how the joint forces are protecting our homeland from adversaries in cyberspace.
