The American Security Challenge, America's first business plan competition devoted to our nation's security, seeks to fill this gap in funding and assure the long term security and prosperity of our nation. In conjunction with the 2009 Homeland Security S&T Stakeholders Conference East, presented by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) with subject matter support provided by the Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the American Security Challenge will host its second annual event May 21, 2009 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C.
