Why You Should Attend this Symposium

Our 7th Annual Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium will provide the latest updates from key organizations involved in advancing a wholistic strategy for chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defense. At this forum, senior level officials from throughout the Federal Government will share their critical insights into the capability development for CBRN incident detection, protection, and recovery, as well as R&D initiatives, updates on Joint CBRN requirements, and developments in inter-agency cooperation.

Our Symposium's senior-level speakers will examine the strategies and opportunities to enhance CBRN preparedness, prevention, response and mitigation initiatives across the full spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear threats, whether they be a manmade, accidental, or naturally occurring. This event will also convene a panel of experts to discuss efforts aimed at advancing medical countermeasures.

Attendees at our 2019 Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium will have a unique opportunity to engage in open and honest conversation with key decision makers from across the DoD, DHS, FBI, EPA, and HHS about countering CBRN WMD effects. Attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating the CBRN technology acquisition process and will hear about the solutions urgently needed by our government to ensure we are prepared for any future threats we may face.

Our team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposiums' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the CBRN defense community, including operational leaders, intelligence providers, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from Industry and Academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group.
