About this conference
DARPA is hosting the Multi X Office (MXO) Spark Tank event for prospective proposers and future collaborators. The event aims to familiarize participants with MXO's mission, interest areas, and ongoing efforts; facilitate discussions with potential proposers; increase the efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation; and broaden MXO's reach with small businesses, educational institutions, and other nontraditional performers to break down barriers of entry for performers new to DARPA and the national security space. It will include overview presentations by DARPA personnel, including MXO Program Managers, and an opportunity for 1:1 engagement with MXO Program Managers and MXO Leadership via sidebar meetings. Advance registration is mandatory for all attendees, and the event will be conducted exclusively in-person.
