Army Futures Command technology symposium venue

Success Stories

Vetted for the Army Futures Command.

Larry Hales, founder of Hales Global Group and co-founder of Hales Global Manhattan Group, invited to an exclusive three-day symposium connecting industry innovators directly with Army leadership.

Army Futures Command

A front-row seat to the future of soldier technology.

The United States Army Futures Command (AFC) hosted an exclusive three-day symposium, April 19–21, 2022, bringing together 150 vetted presenters from technology fields around the world. The event explored and examined the current state of energy and electrification technology — areas central to the Army's modernization priorities.

The 150 vetted attendees connected directly with Army leadership who have a vested interest in funding research and development for technologies that solve real soldier problems. It was a rare opportunity to baseline product differentiation while informing the Army's approach to next-generation technology.

"I'm excited to be supporting the Department of Defense in modernization at the Futures Command headquarters."

— Larry Hales, Founder & Chairman, Hales Global Group
