Where did the last three years of drone, EW and fires lessons come from?

Not from a conference. From Ukraine.

The Defense Innovation Forum puts the people who learned them on one stage: active-duty Ukrainian officers, the founders building for them, and the Americans buying and investing. The Defense Technology Exhibit puts the hardware on the floor. Three ways in. Each one puts you in the room.

For defense-tech companies that want their system on the floor, in front of the people who matter.
