In order to assist planning efforts, the Technology Demonstration Committee invites interested organisations to submit a pre-application to participate in these technology demonstrations.

A formal application process will occur at a later date, which will be an expanded version of this form. At this time, information submitted will be considered the demonstrator’s best guess at their possible demonstration. Submission of the pre-application will allow an organisation earlier access to the planning process to include teleconferences, face-to-face meetings, and information dissemination.

Pre-applications must be submitted by 5 p.m. EDT on May 31, 2017.
