What’s coming over the horizon? At the 2019 edition of Defense One’s annual look into the future, we will discuss global threats, industry trends, advanced technology, national-security policy, and 2020 politics through interviews with top leaders and conversations about bold ideas.

In the last five years, the tools used in defense have evolved from a staple of science fiction to a real-world magnet for large-scale investment. In Hawaii, that means channeling technological advances for Indo-Pacific security. As the administration's defense strategy has pivoted towards China and great power competition, how is the U.S. matching new capabilities to new strategy, and what needs to happen next?Join Defense One and Nextgov for...
