TechNet Indo-Pacific is the largest event of its kind in the Indo-Pacific Rim. The conference focuses on the regional issues military leaders have identified, including full spectrum cyber operations as adversaries leverage cyberspace to conduct operations below the threshold of conflict. TechNet Indo-Pacific features speakers and discussions about the area's challenges and how industry and government can collaborate. Learn more about TechNet Indo-Pacific, how to get engaged with defense and cyber industries, and how your business can benefit from attending the upcoming conference in November.

With our How to Navigate TechNet Indo-Pacific webinar, AFCEA members share their experiences from attending past conferences and provide best practices on how to make the most out of your time at a large-scale conference like TechNet Indo-Pacific.
