General Information
INFOPAC 2024 (formerly the Pacific IO & EW Symposium) will take place in Honolulu, HI from October 22-25, 2024 (exhibits days will be October 22 and 23). This annual event is USINDOPACOM's only professional development, international engagement, and operational problem-solving event focused on the Information Related Capabilities that comprise Joint IO.
