Tracks: Signature Event

The 2018 National Defense Strategy — and Secretary Mattis personally — have emphasized the importance of cultivating warfighter talent as critical to building a more innovative, lethal force, in the face of an increasingly disruptive global security environment. • How can DoD and the Services apply lessons from the growing field of learning science, through education and training, to help meet these new DoD strategic imperatives? • Can learning science be leveraged in order to improve real learning outcomes, empower the warfighter, and build a more lethal force? This Special Event will use a fresh, conversational-style approach to engage leading experts and the audience in provocative discussion on these timely issues.
