Modernizing capability across battle areas calls for agility and the establishment of partnerships between military, industry, start-ups, international counterparts, and academia. The EDT for Defense Conference will allow just that, bridging the gap between the key stakeholders, encouraging collaborative partnerships, and providing access to unique expertise. EDT for Defense will bring together senior leaders from the US DoD and partners from the Five Eyes nations, NATO, academia, and industry innovators to advance dialogue on the institution of common IT frameworks, the implementation of AI-enabled technologies, and the digitization of the armed forces.

This year’s co-chair conference is Lieutenant General (Ret’d) Michael Groen (Former Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, U.S. Department of Defense).

Join to gain a deeper understanding of the integration of data-driven capabilities, transformation of intelligence PED, institution of cloud architecture, the power of AI/ML-enabled technologies, unmanned and autonomous systems, robotics, and cyber resilience across all networks and platforms. The conference will provide a wholistic and much-anticipated opportunity to network with senior decisionmakers and subject matter experts in an in-person environment.
