About

Nexus 23 convenes experts, operators, and senior leaders to discuss issues at the intersection of national security and autonomy. This year’s event builds on the success of last year’s one-day Nexus 22 symposium. 
For Nexus 23, Applied Intuition and the Atlantic Council are thrilled to bring new perspectives, fresh formats, additional networking opportunities, and other exciting updates across the two-day symposium.  
NATIONAL SECURITY
What can we learn from today’s battlefields and the rapidly-changing threat environment? How can we strengthen partnerships and counter the threat? 
UNITY OF PURPOSE
The Department of Defense, Congress, and industry must act collectively. What use cases for autonomy are most valuable to the end users? 
TRUST IN AUTONOMY
Operators of today’s manned systems need to trust the autonomous systems of tomorrow. How can we build trust into systems to ensure seamless integration?
DEPLOYING AT SPEED
Harnessing autonomy is imperative to prevailing in a future conflict. How can we streamline acquisition processes to acquire essential capabilities?
