To build a truly resilient installation you must often look beyond the fence line. Bringing in community stakeholders is critical to the installation and building a culture of resiliency. This panel explores opportunities for new partnerships to work collaboratively to benefit both the installation and the community.
Military installations across the country are transitioning their utility systems and moving to implement Utility Privatization (UP). This structure offers many benefits to the installation. This session brings together Energy Service Companies and Utility Partners for a discussion around the benefits of UP with a variety of case studies.
This panel brings together subject matter experts from federal and state agencies, academia, and industry trade associations for an interactive discussion around research, development, testing and evaluation (RDT&E). Panelists will discuss how installations can deploy new innovations to promote mission assurance and make installations more resilient.
