11th Annual Pacific Information Operations & Electronic Warfare Symposium (USINDOPACOM)

Exhibitor registration is now open for the 11th Annual Association of Old Crows - (AOC) Diamond Head Chapter's Pacific Conference. This event will take place  at the Hale Koa Hotel, Honolulu, HI from October 17-21, 2022 (exhibits days will be October 18 and 19).

The 11th Annual AOC Pacific Conference is co-sponsored with United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), which conducts additional meetings, presentations, and workshops that together with the AOC Pacific Conference comprise the Pacific IO Symposium. This annual event is USINDOPACOM's only professional development, international engagement, and operational problem-solving event focused on the Information Related Capabilities that comprise Joint IO. The theme this year will be "Countering Coercion: The Role of Information Operations”.

The purpose of the symposium is to bring together government, military, industry, academia, small business and other stakeholders for discussions on the operational challenges facing the practitioners of these IRCs, and to explore possible technological and tactics/procedural solutions. To stimulate wider interest and inquiry into these issues, the symposium and related activities and events will be open to registration by government, industry and academia representatives without regard to their AOC membership status (both AOC Members and non-members may register) except that access of foreign and any other persons may be restricted as necessary in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

The symposium agenda will focus on the role of information operations in maintaining the conditions for continued peace and stability within the region and will feature presentations and panels from senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders.

Over 250 attendees participated at the last in-person AOC Pacific Conference. Attendance at the recent virtual conferences averaged over 300 attendees.
