Our theme for the 38th Annual ITEA Symposium is “Evolution of T&E in an Age of Rapid Technological Change”. As always, our focus is on ensuring test and Evaluation (T&E) delivers the most cost-effective assurance to the warfighter that new systems coming into the force are suitable, survivable and effective.

Please plan on both attending, and more importantly, participating in this year’s Annual Symposium.
