The Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) will host an Industry Conference on September 12-13 at the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The intent of this two-day, classified (SECRET) conference is to present the IED problem in a comprehensive manner to small business, Academia, DoD and National Labs, large business and select members of the international community in order to solicit more innovative, useful solutions.

Montgomery Meigs, JIEDDO Director; Brigadier General Cone, Commanding General of the Joint Center of Excellence at Fort Irwin, CA; Brigadier General Alles, USMC, Commanding General of the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab, Quantico, VA; Dr. Marc Sageman, nationally recognized expert on terrorism and terror networks; and others.
