The 2nd Annual Integrated Testing and Evaluation Conference

The 2nd Annual Integrated Testing and Evaluation Conference will enable DT&E and OT&E practitioners a distinctive opportunity to review Acquisition policy, culture and T&E activities for the purpose of implementing greater efficiency into cross-branch responsibilities in order to ensure maximum results for the war-fighter.

This conference will feature over 15 key briefings presented in a highly interactive classroom style format. Attendees will benefit from several deliveries of the key issues surrounding T&E including case study presentations, hands-on workshops and interactive panel discussions.

Unlike the large trade shows and tech expositions, this conference will be driven by the content surrounding T&E, and therefore, overall attendance is LIMITED and restricted to primarily military and government personnel.
