Mr. Weter and Mr. Hose,

 

As part of the 1st Operational Simulation Summit team, it is my pleasure to officially invite you to attend and perhaps deliver a presentation at our event event taking place in Tel-Aviv, Israel, on 12-14-November 2019. 

OSS2019 is organized and run by the Israel Defense Forces, driven by innovation and emerging ideas from esteemed military and industry thought leaders and stakeholders within the simulation, modeling and training communities. 

The Summit, running for the first time, is a platform for mutual learning and knowledge sharing between the different institutes and offices, will aim to establish an International community for ongoing information exchange and mutual

learning and a base for further cooperation and engagements - We expect various officials, General and Flag officers and project managers to attend this event – Domestic and International.

This year’s program will aim to focus on the challenges in predicting outcomes on the battlefield, the challenges to force design, OPLAN development, methodologies and innovation

 

As this is a military event, we have eliminated any registration fees to eradicate the financial burden of participating in the summit, in accordance with the Israeli law. With this in mind, I invite you to allow any officer from your organization to participate in the summit so that they have an opportunity to learn, share and connect with their International counterparts on matters critical to their daily duties

 

I would love to jump on a quick phone call with one, or both of you, to discuss this opportunity. We believe that the JTLS and the IDF-Operational Concepts Lab have much to discuss, learn and cooperate.
