Interoperable by design: connecting people, technology, and nations

The ITEC 2019 themes reflects the event’ key objective of empowering those who serve their nations in joint, combined, and distributed contexts. The show focuses on ways in which members from research, industry, and operations work together to enhance international collaboration by stepping outside siloed comfort zones to connect people, technology, and nations. Ensuring that joint training and intercultural education are accessible to the training audience, honouring cultural identities, and ensuring that stereotypes, prejudices, biases, or assumptions do not become barriers to collaboration and interoperability are key challenges addressed by this theme.
