September discussions to focus on public/private partnerships to support Ukraine sustainment and rebuilding

WASHINGTON, July 7, 2023 -- The International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) will hold its second major conference exclusively focused on Ukraine-related stability operations on September 12-14, 2023, in Warsaw, Poland. The conference, titled Europe at the Crossroads, will update attendees on the current situation in and around Ukraine, identify potential contracting opportunities and public-private partnerships, and provide opportunities for attendees to make government contracting business connections. The conference features over a dozen informative panels and inspirational keynote speakers discussing critical topics such as logistics; energy security; procurement; women in Ukraine; health and medical response; and refugee and reconstruction plans. Representatives of the U.S. Departments of Defense and State, USAID, EU, NATO, businesses, NGOs, and other contracting authorities will attend.

"Supporting sustainment and rebuilding operations in Ukraine is a top priority for a large portion of our member companies. We’ve arranged for a wide range of experts to speak at our Ukraine Conference, ensuring our attendees will get insightful updates on Ukraine-related stability and contingency operations," said ISOA President and Executive Director Howard R. Lind. "ISOA's members are also eager to make in-person connections with contracting officers, primes, and subcontractors to develop successful public-private partnerships supporting U.S. and NATO efforts in Eastern Europe."

Registration for the Warsaw Conference is available on the ISOA website until September 7. ISOA members and non-members are encouraged to attend. 

ISOA's next conference, the Annual Summit, will be held on November 7-9 in Tysons, VA, and an ISOA Conference focused on stability operations in Africa will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on February 13-15, 2024.
