Sept. 27-28, 2023

This conference is the intersection of health, technology, and innovation for our U.S. Armed Forces and Tactical Athletes. Tactical Athletes, business and industry, academia, and government come together to share novel ideas, discuss problems and solutions, and report key findings to optimize Tactical Athlete health, wellness and performance.

The two-day summit has been hosted by the Warrior Research Center since 2017. The summit consists of keynote speakers; oral, poster and panel presentations; and discussions concerning problems and solutions and research and actionable insights. Researchers and non-researchers, including military, police and fire, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning specialists, physical therapists, business/industry and government decision makers, as well as students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend.
