About
Hosted by Pacific Forum International, the annual forum focuses on operationalizing solutions to prevail in the Indo-Pacific. It emphasizes practical implementation rather than policy discussion, bringing together operational leaders, policymakers, industry innovators, and investors to field capabilities, integrate partners, strengthen economic resilience, and build the operational networks needed to sustain deterrence and security. Themes include: - Delivering Combat Power Forward: Speed, Scale, and Sustainment, including distributed logistics, forward maintenance, space-enabled sensing, missile defense integration, and authorities and funding mechanisms that affect execution. - Coalition as a Capability: Executing Networked Deterrence, including information-sharing, standard setting, legal authorities, interoperability, Pacific Island participation, and translating exercises into operational change. - Industrial Power as Deterrence: Mobilizing Capacity, including production and repair acceleration, commercial integration into operational planning, acquisition and contracting, allied industrial capacity, and private capital for defense production. - Decision Advantage: AI, Data, and the Information Domain, including AI, data integration, decision-support tools, information operations, cognitive warfare, and integration of classified, commercial, and allied data. - Economic Resilience in Action: Securing Supply Chains and Strategic Resources, including supply chain resilience, access to critical resources, public-private partnerships, manufacturing and energy investment, and economic resilience in deterrence and defense planning. The forum will convene government, industry, allies, and venture capital; identify policy, legal, financial, and operational barriers; connect investors with government challenges; and produce actionable recommendations and a final report for policymakers, planners, and industry.
