Why You Should Attend this Year’s Symposium:

DSI’s Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium will provide the latest updates from key organizations involved in enhancing CBRN response, defense, preparedness, technology, and readiness. At this forum, senior level official will detail crucial insights on future capability development for CBRN defense to include R&D initiatives, updates on Joint CBRN requirements, as well as partnership building efforts within the CBRN defense community.

The objective of this Symposium is to examine the efforts and opportunities to enhance CBRN preparedness, prevention, and response across the full spectrum of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosive threats whether at the National or Local level. Our invited speakers will provide key insights on their organization’s high-level initiatives to better support CBRN defense in the Homeland.
