Information Innovation Office (I2O) Office-Wide Special Notice for Proposers Day

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is hosting an unclassified hybrid Proposers Day on November 7, 2024, to discuss its Information Innovation Office (I2O) and its upcoming Office-Wide Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). The event aims to inform potential proposers about I2O's technical objectives across four thrust areas: effective AI, secure and resilient systems, advanced cyber operations, and information domain protection. Participation is limited to representatives from proposing organizations, with in-person attendance capped at 136 participants, and registration deadlines are set for October 24, 2024. Non-U.S. attendees must complete specific documentation for participation. The event will feature presentations and networking opportunities, emphasizing the importance of innovative and unconventional software solutions that challenge existing practices to provide strategic advantages for national security. This Proposers Day serves as a platform for collaboration and information sharing, helping participants align their research with national security needs, although it does not obligate DARPA to formally solicit proposals.
