- Strong Angel III will take place from 20-26 August (Sunday to Saturday) in San Diego, California.
- 20 August is a travel and registration day. Nothing can be pre-set.
- We begin with a briefing at 0800 Monday, 21 August. We'll go live at 0900. Days 21-25 August will be the demonstration of all tasks, with the ongoing interation and synthesis for which Strong Angel is known. SA-III will run 24/7 from multiple sites inside San Diego.
- 26 August is dedicated to review of the event (the Hotwash)
- The SA-III Core Site is inside the grounds of the San Diego Municipal Fire Training Academy near San Diego International Airport. That is a restricted-access area. The Academy is not open to the public and access will be physically obstructed.
- The SA-III Primary Satellite Site is within the Visualization Laboratory in the College of Sciences at San Diego State University. That is roughly nine miles east of the Core site. Physical access is also limited at that location.
- All SA-III members entering the site will be registered and badged with a photo-ID.
- Our military attendees are advised that we are strongly discouraging uniforms at this event; civilian dress is authorized.
- There is essentially no parking on the Strong Angel site. Be prepared to walk in each day from San Diego Airport parking, roughly half a mile. Parking there is fee-based.
- No children allowed onsite. While we wish we could extend the Strong Angel experience to the youngest of people, we are unable to accomodate anyone on site that is younger than 16 years of age.
- Minimal security will be provided at the main site. Please keep in mind, however, that Strong Angel is not responsible for participants’ lost, stolen, or damaged property. Please note that if you plan to deploy assets such as networking equipment in other parts of the city, you are responsible for your own physical and personal security at those locations.
- Due to the highly collaborative nature of SA-III, participating organizations are strongly encouraged to refrain from deploying any technology at the demonstration that would require members of any other organization to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. We would likewise prefer that software vendors integrating their products with those of other participating organizations avoid the use of unpublished interfaces.
- No CLASSIFIED material of any kind is to be brought onto the SA-III site. This includes material marked with half-classifications such as Confidential, Limited Distribution, and For Official Use Only. Such materials cannot be easily shared with others during humanitarian operations and as such have no utility within Strong Angel III.
Any Strong Angel attendees needing travel arrangements should note the following:
- The San Diego Travel Group is both arranging discounts for you and keeping track of you for us. Please use them if you possibly can. We need the information they are accumulating.
- The Strong Angel team is small and busy. We cannot arrange any travel logistics, nor can we provide services for visitors. You are, gently speaking, on your own. Please prepare accordingly.
