Imagine: World War II, 1945. Allied intelligence teams are risking everything, infiltrating enemy territory to unearth hidden German military secrets. They scoured factories, mineshafts, and even wine cellars, shipping tons of captured documents back home, hoping to turn the tide of the war. 

This isn't a scene from a spy thriller – it's the incredible origin story of DTIC. From those 1,750 tons of captured documents, a vital organization was forged. 

Now, three former DTIC leaders – former Administrators Christopher Thomas, Kurt Molholm, and former Deputy Administrator Carlynn Thompson – will share their insider perspectives on DTIC's evolution, revealing how it continues to innovate, ensuring that DoD's investment in science and technology directly benefits our warfighters. 

Don't miss this exclusive event.
