"The Think-tank for Information and Decision Execution superiority (TIDE) Sprint is part of a continuum of interoperability events organized and run by HQ SACT that include CWIX and the TIDE Hackathon. Together, these events allow NATO, Alliance and Partner nations and other organizations to continually improve federated interoperability between the people, process and technology that make up the deployable command and control systems and services represented by multiple communities of interest. TIDE Sprints are forward looking think-tank events that bring together the extended TIDE Community (NATO, nations, industry and academia) to discuss, evolve and solve C3 capability and IT service challenges and improvements through cooperative, educational and collaborative working sessions.

TIDE Sprints use a combination of show and tell, brainstorming, education, demonstration, coding and testing to further improve NATO and National capabilities with a focus on interoperability; bringing together C3 communities of interest (CoI) in a spirit of collaboration.

Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, we will host this edition of TIDE Sprint as a fully on-line event that is offered completely free of charge. We look forward to seeing you online at the Opening Plenary Session."
