Theme: The rise of extremism and the role of Information Operations.
Objective: The purpose of this conference is to explore how individuals and groups use the information environment to advance extremism within nation states.
Background: The events surrounding Arab Spring awakened Western countries to the plight of disenfranchised populations in the Arab Region and Northern Africa. Large groups of disaffected people coalesced their anger to overthrow long-standing governments. These groups leveraged the information environment to communicate on a world stage while garnering support within their home nation, across their region and from the entire world. This same information environment is available to other groups to advance their goals and objectives.

CREATE, GROW AND SUSTAIN Electromagnetic Spectrum Warfare Professionals |
We have competitive Electromagnetic Spectrum Warfare (EMSW) capabilities now, but they will erode if there are insufficient numbers of dedicated SMEs to evaluate, evolve and replace them. This is not to say that only experts brought up in the EMSW profession are suitable for senior roles, but our solutions to the deepening problem of EMS Control will continue to suffer from atrophy as long as we fail to acknowledge the need for deliberately sustained expert EMS Warfare cadre.
