Complementing the technical program this year is an engagement theater on the exhibit floor, which offers an opportunity to participate in smaller, interactive sessions. Topics include small business, cybersecurity and innovation. In addition, conference attendees will have more than 300 exhibitor booths to visit throughout the three-day conference, as many of the world’s leading providers of information, communications and defense technologies will be on hand to demonstrate their technologies, products and expertise.
