On June 2-4, 2025, SCSP will host its second AI+ Expo – alongside the Ash Carter Exchange on Innovation And National Security – at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The AI+ Expo is the place to convene and build relationships around AI, technology, and U.S. and allied competitiveness. The powerful purpose behind this one of a kind event is to serve as a forum for industry, government, and academic research entities to exhibit some of the latest technological breakthroughs – in AI, biotech, energy, networks, compute, microelectronics, manufacturing, augmented reality, and beyond – and discuss their implications for U.S. and allied competitiveness.
