As the nature of intelligence evolves, the U.S. Intelligence Community is constantly adapting in order to stay ahead of new threats, technologies, global events and adversarial capabilities, especially in the peer competition era. Today’s IC leaders are looking at ways to update the intelligence tradecraft, adopt cutting-edge technologies, become more agile, embrace reform and adapt to new classification trends. The Potomac Officers Club’s 2024 Intel Summit celebrates a decade of bringing together the top IC officials, government decision makers and industry executives to discuss the challenges, opportunities, innovation initiatives and technologies shaping the future of American intelligence.
