40th Annual International T&E Symposium | International Test and Evaluation Association
This is ITEA’s 40th Anniversary of hosting the Annual International Symposium and the week is building up to be exactly what you come to expect from us! Make your arrangements early to take advantage of the Early Bird Pricing, make hotel reservations to avoid a No-vacancy sign, and hurry to pick your spot on the Exhibit floor, space is limited.
New technologies are coming fast to our workplaces, changing the way we accomplish tasks and prepare to fight future wars. Are these systems fully tested when they’re being integrated into our practices? Are we leveraging the rapidly expanding toolkit to increase the level of complexity in our test and evaluation processes to keep up? Or are we letting the new technology pass us by in favor of what we already know how to execute? Are we learning from commercial partner, military, and academic channels or stove-piped in our immediate area?
