- Description
- IARPA Day The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) will be hosting its first IARPA Day 29-30 October 2014 in the College Park, Maryland area. Dubbed in The New York Times as one of the government's "most creative agencies," IARPA performs high-risk, high-payoff research to address Intelligence Community (IC)-wide intelligence challenges. The purpose of IARPA Day is to provide a unique look at the breadth and depth of IARPA's research through briefings, discussions and demonstrations, including: •The Aggregative Contingent Estimation (ACE) program, which seeks to improve forecasting of world events through the wisdom of crowds, •The Trusted Integrated Chips (TIC) program, which addresses supply-chain security and intellectual property with a new chip-fabrication approach, •The Strengthening Human Adaptive Reasoning and Problem-solving (SHARP) program, which explores ways to enhance analysts' ability to reason though complex and ambiguous problems, and •The Babel program, which is creating technology to provide robust search tools for human speech in any language in the world. IARPA Day will allow attendees the opportunity to speak directly with IARPA leadership and IARPA's subject matter experts (the program managers) about their work and experiences, as well as discuss career opportunities at IARPA. REGISTRATION AND SECURITY INFORMATION Attendees must register no later than 6 p.m. local time on 15 October 2014 at https://www.signup4.net/Public/ap.aspx?EID=IARP14E. No walk-in registrations will be allowed. Directions to the event facility, agenda and other information will be provided online upon registration. There is no registration fee. The event is being held on two days, the first day (29 October) is only for attendees with Top Secret//SCI clearances and will be held at IARPA. The second day (30 October) is entirely unclassified and will be held in a facility close to IARPA. Classified Day : Due to space limitations, attendance on the classified day (29 October) will be limited to the first 200 registrants. Entry into IARPA for the classified day requires a government-issued photo identification and either •an active IC badge or •a completed IARPA Visitor Access Request (VAR) form (for attendees who do not have an active IC badge but who hold Top Secret//SCI clearances). VAR forms must be submitted at least seven business days prior to the event. The form, as well as additional submission instructions, can be found on the registration website.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IARPA Day does not constitute a formal solicitation for proposals or proposal abstracts.
