Hume Seminar Series: Hume Seminar Series: The Ukraine Conflict and National Security. How YOU and Technology will Fit into the Future

About the Event

LTG Mike Nagata will share his perspectives on the world situation and specifically on the conflict in Ukraine, on the challenges of INDOPACOM and on the broader topic of National Security.  Teamed with CTO Glenn Kurowski, they’ll then discuss how you and technology can fit into the future. The talent of tomorrow will face social and national security challenges across a broad gamut of topics. You as the talent of tomorrow have unlimited opportunities for impact.  We’ll discuss some of the key technologies that will make a difference and provide our individual career perspectives – both what worked for us and what didn’t work for us.  We’ll share examples of the investments and advancements that will be making a difference.  We can provide our insight and our experience but you have the exciting challenge of charting your own course.  Plenty of time for Q&A will be available.  The discussion will take place as unclassified with no ITAR restrictions – and thus be limited in some areas
