Join NSA for an Industry Forum: Sparking Innovative Ideas for Complex Security Challenges

The National Security Agency in partnership with AFCEA Central Maryland, invites industry leaders—both current partners and non-traditional participants—to a forum on our rapidly evolving national security priorities. This is an unclassified information presentation, not a 'How to Do Business with NSA' session or solicitation. We'll broadly share the evolving mission landscape, focus areas, and complex challenges requiring industry expertise.

Discussion Areas May Include:

  • Utilization of AI/ML across all steps of intelligence production
  • Integrated, cloud native architectures that optimize for AI/ML
  • Sensemaking from large, diverse data sets
  • Data dissemination and maximizing customer integration/understanding
  • Advancements in vulnerability discovery and exploitation

This event aims to explore the art of the possible by sparking innovative thinking on how your capabilities and creative approaches can deliver high-speed, affordable, and scalable solutions to these complex problems, which align with Department of War goals for rapid innovation, speed, and efficiency. We seekyour industry perspectives, technology insights, and cutting-edge ideas to inform our planning efforts.

Who Should Attend:

  • Current NSA contractors and partners
  • Non-traditional defense contractors and commercial technology firms
  • Companies with expertise in AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, network technologies, data analytics, hardware/software exploitation, or workforce solutions

This is an unclassified briefing and discussion forum. No proposals or submissions are being requested at this time. Future engagement opportunities maybe pursued separately through appropriate contracting channels.

Limitations:

  • Registration is limited to 160 participants. Submission of a registration form does not guarantee a spot at the forum. 
  • Once registration closes, selected attendees will be notified via the email provided in the form of their participation on or around 11 June. 
  • Attendance is limited to two individuals per company. Each attendee must register separately. 
    • For the purposes of this forum, a company is defined as a distinct legal entity that is actively operating with its own employees and/or a populated joint venture. Non-populated joint ventures, shell companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries, and similar entities do not qualify as a company. 
  • If space remains available after the initial selection, registration may be reopened for additional attendees from the same company.

Reminder:

Do NOT contact or email NSA directly. If you have questions, please contact CSC_Visits@nsa.gov.
