- Description
- Please Save the Date: The DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office will host a two-day "Industry Day 2018" conference August 28 and August 29, 2018, at the Johns Hopkins University- Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU-APL) conference center in Laurel, MD. The two-day event will build on the CWMD Industry Outreach Event, held on March 26, 2018, where Assistant Secretary James F. McDonnell explained the mission of the CWMD Office and provided his vision for transforming the existing DNDO and OHA organizations to meet the challenges and to realize the opportunities of this new office. Assistant Secretary McDonnell and other speakers will update participants on CWMD's progress toward meeting its mission, and expand on the Office's current areas of emphasis. The event will include plenary sessions, user panel, and an expanded exhibit area. This event will include sessions with government, industry, academia, and operational users who have an interest in countering chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats in the new CWMD mission space. Networking opportunities will be provided throughout the event, and a no-host social may be scheduled if there is sufficient interest indicated for one during registration. Additional details regarding the event agenda and keynote speakers will be posted as an update to this FedBizOpps notice in the near future. Note that foreign nationals (who are not current US citizens) require 30 days for review and approval by DHS Security. For this reason, any foreign nationals interested in attending this event must complete the attached form and send them to CWMDIndustryEvents@hq.dhs.gov no later than July 27, 2018 5:00 pm EST. Since the Foreign National Form includes personal identification information, the submission should be password protected, and a separate notification should be sent to CWMDIndustryEvents@hq.dhs.gov to include the password to access the password protected form. CWMD will provide exhibit space to industry and government partners desiring a display. Exhibit space will include access to electrical plugs, either 6-foot by 3-foot tables or 8-foot by 3-foot tables, and some space for free-standing posters or signs behind each table. Each exhibit will be set up (excluding the provided table), operated, and disassembled by the individual company or agency. Please note that due to space limitations, it is important for organization representatives to express their interest in having an exhibit using the website registration page shown below no later than 10 August. If there are more spaces requested than available, CWMD will review the requests and determine which organizations will receive a booth space. Please note that the alignment of the organization with CWMD's mission and the order in which the booth request was received will influence the decision process for booth assignments. Due to expected demand, each company may need to limit the number of its participants to two (or three if one participant will solely be an exhibitor). Attendees should register on the following website starting Wednesday 25 July. The website provides more information on the event and will be updated, along with the FBO announcement, when the agenda and speakers have been finalized. Persons interested in attending will have until August 17, 2018 5:00 pm EST to register, and organizations desiring exhibit space will have until August 10, 2018 5:00 pm EST to request a table. https://www.schafertmd.com/DHS/CWMD/IndustryDay/
