  2. What Is SOLUTIONS? • Mission & History • Purpose: • The AFCEA SOLUTIONS Series promotes a detailed dialogue between government and industry on issues of national importance. We seek a balanced approach wherein the government can share current thinking and direction, and industry can offer their perspective and input on current and projected capability. These events will be compact, with focused tracks, to promote interactive dialogue. • History: • Concept created by AFCEA International President’s from transformational meetings with senior government leadership to identify key issues and concerns in 2007 • AFCEA engaged the AFCEA Technology Committee to work (probono) the event design and program in cooperation with the gov/mil advisors • Solutions evolved to a series of conferences tackling key government IT challenges, meeting three-four times per year
