In partnership with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Washington State University is hosting a two-day regional conference on the WSU Pullman campus on Sept. 13-14. Virtual options are being added. The goal of the DARPA FORWARD Conference is to engage with regional stakeholders to energize the DARPA innovation ecosystem and to promote DARPA’s commitment to their programs.
We are anticipating 300-500 attendees from across the Pacific Northwest, and DARPA is planning to send 15-20 Program Managers to the event. The conference will have keynote speakers, poster sessions, panels and plenary sessions, networking roundtables, lighting talks, and program demonstrations.
More details are forthcoming for program registration, accommodations, and other items of interest. WSU is excited and honored to be partnering with DARPA for this event, and we expect a great turnout.
We invite you and your colleagues to save the dates and attend this event.
General questions on the conference should be directed to Dan Nordquist, associate vice president and deputy vice president in the Office of Research Support and Operations, by email at nordquist@wsu.edu. Questions or suggestions for speakers or content should be directed to Sammy Rodriguez, Interim Director in the Office of Research Advancement and Partnerships, by email at samuel_rodriguez@wsu.edu.
