The International Stability Operations Association will hold its annual summit, Partnering for Global Security: New Era Conflicts and Alliances, at the McLean, Virginia Hilton hotel on Nov. 17 and 18.

With over 350 attendees, the event hosts leaders spanning the U.S. government and military, contracting, small businesses, non-governmental organizations and academia.
During this year’s summit, speakers from across the industry will discuss mission-critical needs regarding Ukraine, the U.S. Indo-Pacific Region Command, the middle east and Africa.
Keynote speakers featured include Lieutenant General Scott Spellmon, commanding general of the Army Corps of Engineers, John Tenaglia, director of defense pricing and contracting for the Department of Defense, and General Stephen Townsend, former commander of the U.S. Africa Command and retired Army general.
