PARTICIPATION

Eligibility (In Person or Webcast)

All registrants who are not U.S. citizens must complete and submit either a DARPA eForm 60 (U.S. Permanent Resident and Foreign National Visit Request – e.g., industry or academia) or an Official Visit Request (foreign government personnel, only) through their country’s embassy based in Washington, D.C., no later than 4:00 PM Eastern on May 4, 2026. eForm 60 submission instructions are provided in the registration confirmation email. Contact your embassy staff for assistance in submitting the Official Visit Request.

NOTE: The DARPA eForm 60 will require you to upload copies of your Picture ID.  This must be your foreign passport with a valid (unexpired) non-immigrant visa or entry stamp. Driver's License is not acceptable.

Registration (In Person or Webcast)

There is no registration fee for the in-person meeting* or webcast. The registration deadline is May 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM Eastern. Advance registration is required for in-person and webcast attendance. NOTE: All persons wishing to attend the webcast must register (whether viewing alone or as part of a group). 

*Due to the limitations of the conference faciliity space, in-person attendance is restricted to the first 100 registrants with a maximum of five (5) individuals from any one (1) organization and no more than two (2) representatives per division/department of that organization. Interested parties are encouraged to coordinate attendance internally with their organization prior to registration.

Upon entry to the physical meeting, all attendees must present valid, Government-issued photo identification.

TEAMING OPPORTUNITIES

TEAMING

DARPA highly encourages teaming before proposal submission and will facilitate the formation of teams with the necessary expertise. Potential proposers may choose to participate in either, none, or both of the following options:

  1. Attendee List (limited distribution): Participant contact information (name, organization, email address) will be distributed to all other ExPEDitions Proposers Day attendees. The registration website will ask registrants to indicate whether they approve distribution of their contact information.
  2. Proposer Profile List (limited distribution): Interested parties will submit a one-page profile consisting of their contact information (i.e., name, organization, email, telephone number, mailing address, and, if applicable, organization website), a brief description of their technical competencies, and, if applicable, their desired expertise from other teams/organizations. All profiles must be emailed to ExPEDitions@darpa.mil no later than 12:00 PM Eastern on May 18, 2026. Following the deadline, the consolidated teaming profiles will be sent via email to the proposers who submitted a valid profile. Specific content, communications, networking, and team formation are the sole responsibility of the participants. Neither DARPA nor the Department of Defense (DoD) endorses the information and organizations contained in the consolidated teaming profile document, nor does DARPA or DoD exercise any responsibility for improper dissemination of the teaming profiles.  

LIGHTNING TALKS

Attendees may be afforded the opportunity to give a Lightning Talk (a brief, 5-minute oral presentation) during the webcast outlining their interests and capabilities. The purpose of these presentations is to facilitate teaming discussions among the attendees. Upon registering, attendees may indicate if they would like to give a Lightning Talk. Due to limited availability, DARPA will accept submissions on a first-come, first-served basis and does not guarantee that an attendee's requests to brief will be fulfilled. Submitted briefing materials should use this template and are limited to a single, PDF-format slide, which should be appropriate for public release, as they will be shared with the session via webcast. The slide must be submitted to ExPEDitions@darpa.mil by 12:00 PM Eastern on May 12, 2026. DARPA will contact submitters upon receipt of their slide with additional guidance for the webcast.
