15th Annual Capabilities Demo, October 18th-20th, 2021
The 15th Annual STAR-TIDES Tech Demo will be held Oct 19-20, 2021 (T-W) at George Mason University’s Fairfax campus. Mon, Oct 18 will be a set-up day so people don’t have to travel on the weekend. The TIDES tech demo at the Pentagon is Oct 21-22. The TouchNet sign up link will be posted shortly.
This year’s event will be special. Combining the success of last year’s virtual event, with over 26 hours of video on our YouTube site, and the traditional open field format, this will be a “Phygital” (physical + digital) event. The details are being worked out, but we expect a significant online presence on the 18th, followed by other events on the 19th and 20th to complement the online presence.
The overall theme will be “Building Sustainable Resilience in a Post-COVID World,” but exhibitors will be welcome in areas such as power, shelter, water, food and agriculture, information & communications technology, nutrition & public health, transport & logistics, geospatial information systems, etc.. As before, STAR-TIDES will be hosted by George Mason’s transdisciplinary Center for Resilient and Sustainable Communities (C-RASC). C-RASC’s broad scope and reach allows resilience questions to be addressed from both technical and policy points of view.
Early bird pricing will be in effect until midnight EST on May 31st, with a $100 discount on all sites. If you recommend someone and they register, you’ll get $50 back if they reserve a small site, $100 for a medium-sized site, and $150 for a large site.
IMPORTANT: Registration will close on Fri, Sept 24, which will give time for orders for tents, ball caps, tee shirts, etc. to be processed at Mason and clearances to be processed by the Pentagon.
