That members of Congress, two service chiefs and a substantial number of flag and general officers appeared at the conference and that attendance approached pre-COVID levels indicate this, but there have been significant changes since the previous I/ITSEC event.
Priorities have, inevitably, changed. For example, the US Army has recognised modular open system approach (MOSA) architectures as central to future developments.
