The government intends to share new findings and updates to the projected path forward for this effort. The first two-hour session of the industry day briefing will be held at the collateral SECRET//NOFORN level, followed by a two-hour CUI level presentation and open question and answer forum. During the Secret Collateral session there will be NO phones, NO notes, and NO bags. Please plan to leave them in your vehicle. After lunch, notes, phones and computers are allowed. Due to the nature of the data, the Secret Collateral questions and answers will not be shared publicly so we highly encourage you to attend that portion if you are interested in competing for this effort.
