Decision Dominance Through Awareness

A Luncheon About OSINT and Strategic Intelligence

Thursday, November 19, 2026 |  11:30 AM - 1:30 PM ET

In modern warfare, the primary bottleneck to decision advantage has shifted from a
lack of information to the sheer velocity and volume of unclassified data. While publicly
and commercially available information offers unprecedented visibility into
adversary movements, analysts and operators lack the time to manually filter the
noise during high-tempo operations. 

This luncheon convenes senior military and intelligence leaders to discuss how
technologies such as AI can automate the ingestion, enrichment, and synthesis of
massive open-source feeds in real time, and how to trust the results when adversaries
can seed those sources with deception.

Join us to explore how these automated workflows can compress the OODA loop,
allowing front-line operators to isolate the critical signal and executive decisive actions
ahead of the adversary.
