DSI’s EOD/IED & Countermine Symposium is returning for its 12th iteration on July 16–17 in National Harbor, MD.

This year’s symposium will bring together experts and solution providers from the DoD, federal government, academia, and industry to drive advancements in the fields of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), counter-improvised explosive devices (C-IED), and countermine operations.

The 2025 EOD/C-IED and Countermine Symposium will focus on advancing the field by integrating strategies, technologies, and policies that enhance the safety of both civilians and EOD personnel in detecting and rendering explosives safe.

Speakers will highlight the importance of strengthening collaboration with allies and partners to improve training, techniques, and procedures that support interoperability, information-sharing, and force response.

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from—and pose questions to—senior leaders across the community regarding the evolving nature of IED threats and recent advances in EOD technologies used to detect, counter, and prevent explosive attacks.

Register for the 2025 EOD/C-IED and Countermine Symposium to examine approaches to protecting civilians, military personnel, and critical infrastructure from enduring and hard-to-detect threats posed by unconventional explosives. Active-duty U.S. military and government employees attend free of charge.

Topics of Discussion Include:

  • Enabling Warfighter Protection with Innovative Capabilities
  • Mitigating the Evolving Threat: The Public Safety Bomb Technician’s Role
  • Understanding Energetic and Ordnance Components to Support EOD and C-IED Efforts
  • Countering the Range of CBRN and EOD Threats in Multi-Domain Operations
  • Developing and Implementing Mitigations to Counter the Growing Threat of IEDs and Increase Resilience Across the Homeland
  • Exploring the Evolving Role of Navy Expeditionary Combat Forces in Counter-IED and Countermine Missions
