From candid discussions about budget challenges and leadership gaps to hands-on demos in the Expo Hall with 160+ exhibitors, attendees explored what it takes to achieve spectrum dominance by 2035.

 

New initiatives like NextGen Crows and the Empowering Women in EW breakfast energized the community, while 400 care packages assembled for deployed warfighters showed our commitment to those on the front lines.
