INFOPAC 2025 (formerly the Pacific IO & EW Symposium)

INFOPAC 2025 will take place in Honolulu, HI. This annual event is the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command's (INDOPACOM) only professional development, international engagement, and operational problem-solving event focused on the operational needs of INDOPACOM and component commands. The theme for the 2025 INFOPAC Symposium, “Credible Deterrence” follows guidance from the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) to continue strengthening their deterrence posture alongside allies and partners in the AOR and beyond.  

USINDOPACOM Personnel, Service Component Commands, allied partners, and industry contractors are encouraged to participate in this official event. With the heightened activity in the region, we are looking forward to collaboration, idea sharing, and improving USINDOPACOM's ability to operate more effectively in support of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific.

Industry Exhibits will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday in conjunction with the unclassified segment of the conference at the Alohilani Hotel. Industry partners and academic institutions are invited to display programs, products, technology and services of interest to USINDOPACOM. Registration is required.

Overview:
INFOPAC 25 will examine how Operations in the Information Environment in peacetime will magnify deterrence efforts against our adversaries. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together government, military, industry, academia, small business, and other stakeholders for discussions on the operational challenges facing the practitioners of these IRCs, and to explore possible technological and tactics/procedural solutions. To stimulate wider interest and inquiry into these issues, the symposium and related activities and events will be open to registration by government, industry and academia representatives without regard to their AOC membership status (both AOC Members and non-members may register) except that access of foreign and any other persons may be restricted as necessary in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
