Submissions must include organizational details, experience related to event planning and execution, and a comprehensive plan describing the approach to hosting the event, covering components such as panel discussions, exhibitions, demonstrations, suggested speakers, and contingency planning. This notice, which is not a solicitation, also serves as a request for information to gather ideas for future industry events addressing challenges important to the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community. Priority technical focus areas include countering violent extremist organizations, unmanned aerial systems, artificial intelligence applications, advanced sensing and precision engagement, and swarming technologies. Responses must be submitted by the specified deadline via email and should not contain any proprietary or competition-sensitive information.
