Date And Time Thu, September 17, 2020 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM EDT Location National Defense University 300 5th Avenue Lincoln Hall auditorium Washington, DC 20319 Description Due to the restrictions associated with the current outbreak, we have rescheduled our CASI Conference to Thursday, 17 Sep 2020. We hope that you will be able to join us. We know things are up in the air for most of us at this point, but we wanted to at least get the date on the calendar in time for people to plan (and still get FY20 travel funding) should the outbreak subside and the restrictions be lifted. So Please Sign-up if you are interested, it is not a commitment, and we know things may change yet again. But we’d rather have you sign up now and cancel later. Thanks, and stay healthy. CASI’s mission is to advance understanding of China’s aerospace forces in support of the Secretary, Chief of Staff, Chief of Space Operations, and other senior leaders of the Department of Defense. CASI provides a single point of contact for critical Mandarin language-capable, expert research and analysis supporting decision and policy makers in the Department of Defense and across the U.S. government regarding the Chinese aerospace problem set. In order to accomplish this mission, CASI conducts an aggressive program of research, education, and outreach.
