Operating Guidance for Government Attendees:
DSI’s Symposium directly supports DoD, Federal Government, and State and Local Government CBRN priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the Government, and in an efficient expenditure of time
The Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.
The Symposium is open and complimentary to all DoD, Federal, and State and Local Government employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
(Industry and academia members are charged a fee for admission)
Symposium is CLOSED TO PRESS / NO RECORDINGS ______________________________________________
