INSS to host Center for Disruptive Technology and Future Warfare Conference

By INSS Events

Sponsored by the National Defense University’s (NDU) Institute for National Strategic Studies (INSS), this conference addresses the question: How can the Department of Defense (DoD) effectively adapt emerging and disruptive technologies for future warfare and engage the defense industrial base (DIB) to compete with and remain ahead of global adversaries?

Speakers will include senior members from the U.S. military and the Department of Defense, as well as representatives from academia, think tanks, and the private sector. The morning panel sessions will focus on Transformative Military and Battlefield Technologies and Information and Intelligence, while the afternoon panels will address Disruptive Biotechnologies and Leveraging Partners and Allies.

The conference will take place on 4 September 2025 at the NDU campus on Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, DC.
