Attendance Information
NOTICE: After careful consideration, DEPS has decided it best to move our in-person
Annual to a virtual format. This will allow
our members the opportunity to participate in the technical sessions of the Annual DE S&T Symposium while
complying with the current travel restrictions placed on many of our members.
Participation in the 2025 Annual DE S&T Symposium is open to anyone with an
interest in the science and technology of directed energy.
The conference will feature unclassified material only, with all technical sessions conducted at the Distribution A
level. Participation is limited to U.S. and U.K. citizens.
Accommodations
This year's Annual Symposium will be held online, 13-15 May 2025.
