Past event: Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium 2024

Enhancing Joint Defense, Readiness & Coordination Against CBRN Threats

The 12th Annual Joint Civil and DoD CBRN Symposium will explore the continued efforts of the CBRN community to advance the defense, readiness, and response to current and emerging chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. The 2024 Symposium will aim to advance an innovative, joint CBRN community essential to counter and defend the nation from CBRN events.

Topics to be covered at the 2024 Symposium:

  • Leading DoD efforts to defend against current & future nuclear, chemical, & biological threats
  • Deterring & preventing strategic attacks against the U.S. & allies
  • Generating cost-effective & innovative capabilities to safeguard the Warfighter from CBRN threats
  • Adapting & modernizing to provide rapid response to CBRNE threats
  • Local response to CBRN incident in major U.S. city
  • Investigating & preventing CBRN & explosive weapon threats to the U.S. & global partners
  • Utilizing emerging tech to aid response & recovery in a CBRN affected dense urban environment
  • Improving coordination with state & local partners to advance CBRN preparedness

Why You Should Attend This Symposium:

With the increasing complexity of the global security environment, the threat of an accidental or intentional chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear attack on the U.S. is becoming a growing threat. Developing the technologies and solutions necessary for ensuring the nation is prepared to mitigate and respond is critical to combat any CBRN threat. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the continued development of capabilities to increase the resiliency and preparedness of DoD, Federal, State & Local entities to understand, protect, and mitigate CBRN incidents and hazards.

This year's Symposium will convene senior level experts from across the military, federal government, state and local responders, and academia to explore effective CBRN incident detection, protection, and recovery strategies amid a dynamic threat environment. The 2024 Symposium will also feature a panel that will highlight the utilization of emerging technologies and capabilities to bolster recovery and response in a CBRN affected densely populated urban environment. The discussion will highlight the challenges of operating in an urban environment and the implementation of innovative tech such as AI, ML, unmanned/autonomous platforms, and microsensors that can strengthen detection for CBRN releases. Attendees at the 12th Annual Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium will have the unique opportunity to hear from key decision makers and subject experts in the CBRN community regarding defense, mitigation, and response to current and emerging CBRN threats and challenges.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium's content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the CBRN defense community, industry, and academia as well as key policy makers across military and civilian offices for a critical discussion on challenges of countering CBRN threats. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
