Subject: FW: Invitation to present at Global Perspectives in the
Operational Environment 29 January 2020 (UNCLASSIFIED)

CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED

Ma'am,

It was nice to speak with you this morning.

Mad Scientist with TRADOC FLOs, TRADOC G2, AFC FCC and IAPD are having a
Virtual conference on Global Perspectives in the Operational Environment on
29 January 2020.

This conference will be live streamed, open to everyone (no DoD or military
affiliation required), and Unclassified in its entirety.

We would love to have the U.S. Liaison Officers abroad participate in this
conference, reach out to whom they feel would give a great presentation and
invite them to do so, and finally, encourage live streamed attendance where
they are stationed.

Below is a message the they can send to elicit presenters and also raise
awareness. If they wish to send their own message,  they are most welcome
to utilize and send the attachments.
Additionally, if of interest, I am happy to provide a quick briefing with
an overview of the conference at their January 6th meeting here at TRADOC.

Please let me know if you have any questions whatsoever.
Have a great day!
v/r,
Allison

Greetings,

I write to encourage you to reach out and invite a presenter  to virtually
speak at a conference co-sponsored by G2, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine
Command (TRADOC); Army Futures Command, and the TRADOC IAPD and TRADOC
Foreign Liaison  Officers.
The conference topic is Global Perspectives in the Operational Environment.
The event is a virtual and will be live streamed on 29 January 2020 from
the Jacobs Theater on Ft.  Eustis, Virginia. Presenters do not require any
military affiliation or any clearances. It is completely open to everyone .

Its primary objectives are:

*	To explore topics like: artificial intelligence, autonomy,
information warfare (deep fakes), cyber attack and defense, economic
warfare, competition, and conflict
*	Identify specific partner primary concerns/challenges in the
Operational Environment
*	Identify what could be missing in the U.S. Army's current
description of the Operational Environment to include conflict concerns and
opportunities

We ask that you present virtually for event (by Skype, preferably) and,
ideally, participate in responding to audience questions.

Mad Scientist is a U.S. Army initiative and a community of action that
continually explores the future through collaborative partnerships and
continuous dialogue with academia, industry, and government. Through this
initiative, the Army shapes future multi-domain operations in its role as a
thought leader on the future of warfare.

The conference will be notably different than recent other Mad Scientist
gatherings in that we will focus on the international perspective of the
Operational Environment. This conference recognizes that U.S. and partner
forces cannot alone accomplish their missions but must instead be part of a
whole-of-government, multinational, and broader comprehensive approach that
includes NGO, IGO, and commercial partners. Your participation in providing
an international  perspective regarding how your Nation is,

(1) considering what technology or security concern is particular or unique
to your own country or  region,
(2) what emerging and /or disruptive technology is most concerning to your
country and how are you investing in it and / or defending against it ,and,
(3) what could we be missing in our current descriptions of the Operational
Environment? Your Nations' perspectives on how it identifies and meets
operational demands in the operational environment would further assist us
in providing insights of value to future U.S. military doctrine and in
refining further consideration of these challenges.

Attached above are the "Save the Date,"  Conference information paper, and
a PowerPoint that explains what Mad Scientist does.

We much appreciate your consideration and hope to hear you address our
audience as speaker 29 January 2019. You are of course welcome to attend
the entire event.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions whatsoever.

V/r,
Allison
