Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference
1-4 Dec 2014 – Orlando Florida
Trained and Mission Ready: Deter. Defend. Defeat http://www.iitsec.org
An Update for the I/ITSEC Community (This is a message of information to attendees/registrants/participants in past I/ITSECs as well as other activities of the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA) in preparation for I/ITSEC 2014.) If you’re like us, you’re still unpacking from I/ITSEC 2013 and wondering how, in spite of the challenges and turmoil, the year could possibly have gone by so quickly. However, it’s not too early to be prepping for 2014. The website is being updated with 2014 information (this is an arduos process, so give us some time). The staggered process for early exhibit selection has begun and will roll through the next few weeks. The Call for Papers/Tutorials has been issued.
As you return to your computers “post holiday”, you’ll want to keep a few dates and details in mind.
*Paper and Tutorials: Open early this year. In fact, here are the dates for potential authors to keep in mind throughout the year. How about putting them on your calendar now, with two week notifications, so you’ll be prepared?
Papers: Program Chair for 2014 Janet Spruill (formerly Cichelli), janet.spruill@serco-na.com
Tutorials: 2014 Tutorial Board Chair is Bob Richbourg, rrichbou@ida.org.
