AFCEA INTERNATIONAL FALL '96 INTELLIGENCE SYMPOSIUM Each year, AFCEA International holds two premiere intelligence symposia, one in the spring at the Central Intelligence Agency and one in the fall at the Defense Intelligence Agency. This year's fall event will be held on October 30-31, 1996, at the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center, Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, DC. The theme for the symposium is ``New Challenges, New Responses: Intelligence Support for the 21st Century.'' In light of the challenges facing the Intelligence Community to support a wide variety of customers with increasingly diverse threats, this is a very timely topic. The keynote speaker will be General Wayne A. Downing, USA (Ret.), former Commander in Chief, United States Special Operations Command, and current director of the Secretary of Defense-directed task force assessing the circumstances surrounding the June 25, 1996, bombing of the U.S. military barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The symposium will have five sessions which will examine the expanding role of intelligence into what some consider non-traditional venues. The first session will explore the challenge of providing intelligence to tactical users in peacekeeping and other military operations short of war. Session two will emphasize intelligence contributions in countering international and domestic terrorism. The third session will look at the ways intelligence supports counter-narcotics operations. Session four will examine the intelligence challenges in the area of weapons proliferation, and the last session will explore the role of intelligence in the growing international military technology transfer issue. In addition, approximately 30 vendors will showcase the latest in intelligence-related technology. Symposium fees: Government/Military: $125. Industry AFCEA Member: $300. Industry Non-AFCEA Member: $375. After October 15, 1996, the rates increase $25 for government/military attendees and $50 for all others. Symposium fees include all program sessions, two continental breakfasts, two lunches, and one evening reception. ATTENDEES MUST BE A US CITIZEN AND POSSESS A TOP SECRET SI/TK CLEARANCE. Seating is limited, and the last symposium was a sell-out. EXHIBITORS ARE WELCOME AND WILL FIND EXCELLENT EXPOSURE TO SYMPOSIUM ATTENDEES AND DIA EMPLOYEES.
