"As 2018 comes to close, USSOCOM J3-International (J3I) is already looking forward to the next International SOF Commanders Conference (ISOF). The current plan is for the next ISOF to be held in March of 2020, although the exact dates are still to be determined. We want to keep you informed throughout the decision making and conference development process.
The first thing we would like to accomplish is to confirm the correct point of contact to work with from your country's SOF. If you are receiving this, it is because we have your email on file from ISOF 2016. If you could, please:
- Respond to this email, to confirm your address
- Provide a point of contact, if not yourself, for coordination of upcoming events
- If you have moved on from your previous job, please point to an appropriate point of contact
In the coming weeks, we will invite you to a collaboration session on the All Partner Access Network in order to keep you appraised of planning and other events.
In early 2019, the J3I ISOF Planning Team will begin to develop potential themes and topics of discussion and we welcome your input to make this a successful conference.
Please send any thoughts or suggestions you have with respect to conference content and timing to Lt Col Gina Stramaglio: (813) 826-1345, gina.stramaglio@socom.mil or Mr. Mike Calta: (813) 826-3342, michael.calta@socom.mil. Thank you."
