Info: Most people agree that we have reached the "Tipping Point" for adoption of XR technologies in the MS&T and National Security industries. Where are we going from here and what hurdles do we still have to overcome to make XR ubiquitous.

Info: With the introduction of the bipartisan United States Leadership in Immersive Technology Act of 2024, Congress has taken a significant step towards establishing a strategic framework to promote XR innovation. Elizabeth Hyman, CEO of the XR Association, will discuss this proposal in detail, as well as the broader policy frameworks needed to ensure innovative and sustainable growth of immersive technologies.

Info: Orlando is the epicenter of the DoD MS&T industry. Join senior leader representatives of the DoD branches of service in Orlando to explore how they view the impact of XR and AI technologies in the MS&T industry and specifically their branch of service. The topics covered will include what are the new capabilities and benefits they have seen, how do they view the future of XR and AI in MS&T, and what are the challenges that need to be overcome from their perspectives.
