53rd AOC International Symposium & Convention

This year’s 53rd Annual International Symposium and Convention is AOC’s premier event to enhance your personal and professional network, while engaging in discussions regarding Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations with military leaders, policy makers and electronic warfare practitioners from an international perspective. Technical papers will be presented to disseminate research findings and increase awareness of emerging technologies or concepts in the areas of electronic support, electronic attack, electronic protection, spectrum awareness and spectrum deconfliction.

Speakers representing the combatant commanders and our international community will address their regional perspectives on Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations providing an overview of their operational environments and addressing capabilities and challenges regarding EMSO policy, doctrine, procurement, training and joint or coalition operations. International regions that will be represented include Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Connect with thousands of colleagues and over 2,000 military and industry leaders and experts from all career levels, sectors, and EMSO focused businesses for three days of practical insight and networking with our U.S. and International members.

There will be three days of focused briefings plus supporting professional development courses offered by outstanding instructors. The exhibit hall will provide additional training opportunities with companies showcasing their reliable, affordable “state-of-the-art” products and diverse services. Discussions will also include the AOC International awareness and advocacy mission and how we will continue to advance the cause of EW/EMSO in the military. We are also bringing back the AOC STEM Program to help inspire the future innovators, inventors and leaders of this nation, to become Spectrum Warriors and Young Crows. In short, THE AOC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM, CONVENTION and EXHIBITION is a must attend event.
