Convening in the Capital
Join leaders from the government, military, industry, academia, and the national security communities for our inaugural Convening in the Capital: Autonomy at Scale.
As drones reshape the character of warfare, the United States faces a defining challenge: to decide faster, defeat cheaper, and deliver at scale — all against adversaries operating by a different set of rules.
Featuring a keynote conversation with Eric Schmidt, KBE, former Chairman and CEO of Google, and remarks from Oleksandr Kamyshin, former Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, the event will move beyond dialogue to action. Through expert-led discussions, live technology demonstrations, and the launch of a formal research challenge, this one-day Washington, D.C. convening will catalyze innovative solutions built around a core focus: Decide, Defeat, Deliver.
