08 Febuary 2012

On March 19-23 2012, the SDA and IBM will partner with the European External Action Service, the European Commission, NATO Allied Command Transformation, and the US Mission to NATO to bring together thousands of global security stakeholders. Representatives of national governments and armed forces, international institutions, NGOs, think-tanks, industry and the media will use this unique opportunity to collectively define the solutions to pressing security issues. The most innovative recommendations will be presented to the NATO and EU leaderships ahead of the May 2012 Chicago summits.

   

What is the Jam?

Let’s Jam. The Security Jam focuses the brain power of thousands of experts around the world on key security issues. Over five days participants will login to a state-of-the-art online collaboration platform to discuss topics as diverse as strategic partnerships, crisis management, cyber-security and future capabilities. Leading subject-matter experts will focus discussions on producing concrete solutions.

Now it’s your turn. Take this opportunity to influence leaders with your ideas. Whether you are a soldier in Afghanistan, a researcher in London or a diplomat in Sierra Leone, the quality of your ideas is all that matters. Security Jam 2012 lets you take part in frank discussions and the free exchange of ideas with colleagues worldwide, and then you can select the most innovative ideas.

Make a real impact. Global leaders will receive the Jam’s initial results ahead of the NATO and G8 summits in Chicago in May 2012. EU and NATO leadership will receive the full report, including the ten most acclaimed recommendations, in Brussels later that month. The report will also be sent to thousands of high-level policymakers around the world. Take advantage of this unique opportunity; join us March 19th – 23rd 2012.
