Receive Briefings from the PEO STRI, US Army Modeling and Simulation Office at DSI’s 2nd Annual Military Virtual Training and Simulation Summit

The 2nd Annual Virtual Training and Simulation Summit will focus on the current and future direction and utilization of virtual training & simulation technologies throughout the Military Services. Sessions for this Summit will revolve around this year’s theme of “Supporting the Operational Environment at the Point of Need.”

Alexandria, VA, May 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- On June 26 & 27, 2018 leaders from the DoD, Academia, and Industry will convene in Alexandria, Virginia, for two days of “off-the-record” briefings and informal discussions at Defense Strategies Institute’s “town hall” Military Virtual Training and Simulation Summit.

This Summit will focus on the efforts to leverage M&S technologies across the Military due to its pragmatic and cost-effective nature.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development for the Summit’s content and focus areas, and only assemble the most respected minds in the government, military, academic, and scientific communities. Their non-partisan approach allows them to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
