SOFIC 2020 provides the opportunity to connect with 13,000+ attendees from over 50 countries including defence industry professionals, USSOCOM leadership and government attendees.
SOFIC provides educational sessions, demonstrations, interaction with exhibitors and many networking opportunities during the event.
It is the most important opportunity for developing, nurturing and exercising the growing network across industry, government, academia and international partners.
By leveraging the depth, breadth and diversity of this network, the SOF community can boost its velocity, multiply its iterations and increase the variety of capabilities to meet the changing demands of its operators.
For industry participants, SOFIC provides a multitude of significant opportunities for networking, business intelligence, brand promotion and product demonstration.
Participants are offered detailed insights and tips on how to do business with the US Special Operations Command, and information on what capabilities are most desired by the community.
Highlights of SOFIC include: keynote speakers, led by US Special Forces Command and government experts, senior industry executive forums, panel discussions and educational sessions, exhibits and demonstrations, the USSOCOM Marketplace, Innovation Showcase, and Operation SOFTalk.
The TDA mission dates include a pre-event briefing on 11 May 2020.
