The 31^st Annual NDIA SO/LIC Symposium has moved to an all virtual event. This event, hosted by NDIA’s Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict Division, has been newly redesigned to leverage the virtual event experience, maximize the facilitation of important discussions, and bring the special operations and low-intensity conflict community together virtually to keep important conversations going.

Centered around the theme of “Special Operations Forces and Great Power Competition,” 2020 Virtual SO/LIC will explore diversity in Special Operations Forces, cyber-related concerns, countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, SOF Acquisition Agility, and more!

*Please note: This event is open to the press.

NDIA has a policy of strict compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. The antitrust laws prohibit competitors from engaging in actions that could result in an unreasonable restraint of trade. Consequently, NDIA members must avoid discussing certain topics when they are together – both at formal association membership, board, committee, and other meetings and in informal contacts with other industry members: prices, fees, rates, profit margins, or other terms or conditions of sale (including allowances, credit terms, and warranties); allocation of markets or customers or division of territories; or refusals to deal with or boycotts of suppliers, customers or other third parties, or topics that may lead participants not to deal with a particular supplier, customer or third party.
