Hybrid Warfare of the Future Town Hall

May 18, 2021 at 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Event Overview

Sharpening NATO’s Competitive Edge.

Over the next seventy years, hybrid threats facing the transatlantic Alliance are likely to grow in complexity, intensity, and scope. Information operations, cyber-attacks, subversion, low-level conflict, and other hybrid challenges that can be blended with conventional warfare will be exacerbated by rapid technological change and global connectivity. At this special town hall event, in partnership with the United States Mission to NATO, inter-generational voices from the policy, military, tech, and creative communities will discuss how NATO can adapt now for the hybrid warfare of the future.
