SummitET® is excited to present exercises and training capabilities at this year’s Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando, Florida from December 2 to 6, 2024.
For almost 60 years, professionals in modeling, simulation, and training have gathered annually at I/ITSEC with a shared objective: to enhance the effectiveness of these disciplines in the world’s most complex environments. The 2024 conference theme Assuring Deterrence Through Integrated Training and Readiness – The Need is Now! “resonates not only throughout our military structure and operations, but through our allies and partners who, like us, are increasingly facing great challenges.”
SummitET has quickly grown its reputation as a leader in developing and supporting preparedness solutions that prioritize industry best practices and the latest developments in learning and technology. Drawing on their diversity of experience in emergency management and response, communications, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) across military, government, and private sector applications, SummitET experts bring a comprehensive perspective to preparing for and managing a variety of risks. We provide solutions including full-scale field exercises, table-top exercises, plan development support, threat assessments, technical training and education, and beyond.
Schedule a Meeting
Use this calendar to schedule a meeting with our experts at I/ITSEC to discuss how we can support your trainings, simulations, planning, and more.
Training and Simulation Support:
CBRN Preparedness
Our preparedness capabilities include conducting threat assessments, developing response plans for potential threats, building training designed to mitigate the threats, and providing a suite of tailored workshops and exercises to test the readiness as well as providing the operational support an organization may require.
Strategic Communications Training
This includes comprehensive training in Joint Information System (JIS)/Joint Information Center (JIC) methodology and practices, risk and crisis communications, media relations, workshops, and exercises.
Social Media Simulation
Our training replicates real-world simulations conducted on closed native digital platforms to provide real-time, hands-on familiarity with social media tools and practices.
Technical Consulting
Our diverse range of technical experts can support CBRNE effects modeling and simulation for realistic scenarios or augment exercises and training with technical support.

Additionally, we are a subcontract team member for DTRA’s Assessment, Exercises, Modeling, and Simulation Support (AEMSS) multiple award contract.
Join the Workshop
SummitET experts Angela Leek, PhD, CHP and Jeff Skinner, MD will present a tutorial alongside colleague Nir Keren, PhD from Iowa State University:
Enhancing CBRN Response Readiness Using a Mental Model Matrix
Monday, December 2, 8:30-10:00am
Room 320F
Summary of Abstract:
Effectively addressing chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) threats is crucial for military and emergency response teams, as these complex and rare incidents challenge responders’ preparedness. Traditional training often fails to capture the unpredictable nature of CBRN events, leading to gaps in responders’ mental models. This workshop presents an innovative approach that utilizes the Expected Mental Model State (EMMS) Diagnostic Matrix, an analytical tool designed to enhance cognitive strategies by aligning them with established military doctrines and emergency protocols. Participants will engage in discussions using case studies and data from practical exercises to identify gaps in mental models and refine training methodologies. By integrating military doctrine into the EMMS framework, the workshop aims to improve training resources and ensure that response teams are better equipped to handle the complexities of CBRN incidents.
