Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium

The global chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) security market was valued at $18.7 billion in 2023, and is expected to increase to $29.9 billion by 2033. The rise in global terrorism, ongoing geopolitical tensions and increasing threats of an accidental or intentional CBRN attack on the U.S is driving the demand for advanced CBRN security solutions. Technological innovation and whole-of-government collaboration is critical to bolster readiness and response capabilities in the event of a CBRN event. Attendees will gain valuable insights from across the CBRN defense community into the continued development of capabilities to prepare and protect against current and emerging CBRN threats.

The 2025 event will convene senior level experts, innovators, and leaders from across the federal government, military, state and local entities, industry, and academia to explore effective CBRN incident detection, protection, and recovery strategies. Event discussions will focus on emerging detection, monitoring, and decontamination technologies, preparedness and emergency response planning, threats and challenges in the CBRN community, public health and safety implications, training and education, and interagency collaboration and partnership.  The symposium will also feature panels on strengthening homeland defense against CBRN threats and protecting major cities from a local responder perspective. Attendees at the 2025 Joint Civil & DoD CBRN Symposium will have the unique opportunity to hear from key decision makers and subject matter experts on current and emerging CBRN threats and critical strategies to counter and defend against them.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium’s content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the CBRN defense community as well as key policy makers across military and civilian offices for critical discussions on challenges of countering CBRN threats. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
