Command User Event 2024 (September 9-13th) concluded last month. We had representatives from national militaries, corporations active in the defence sector, and academics travel from around the globe to attend CUE in Quantico, Virginia. It was a tremendous showing and we were thrilled at how many users arrived to attend tutorials and network. To hit on a a few key points...

- New users got hands-on tutorials directly from our development team.

- Veteran users got advanced tutorials from our dev team on a seperate track. CUE is for everyone, novice and expert users alike.

- Future features and a roadmap were layed out to our clients with Real Time Multiplayer, ATO compliance, and massive expansions of the unit database on the way.

- Guest speakers shared some of the ways they use Command. Onboarding and training new recruits, using A.I. to play thousands of scenarios to generate data, and planning strike packages with novel approaches are just a few of the ways we have heard how our clients use Command.

- Networking between our users. At multiple points during the conference there were collaborations between users, sharing their expertise on how to get the most out of Command.

- Presentations by the Command dev team, including Project Lead Dimitris Dranidis and Matrix Pro Sims CEO Iain Mcneil.

We would especially like to thank our guest speakers - Lieutenant Colonel Scotty Black, Flt Lt. Leo Banks, Lt. Kaleb Neil, Lt. Maximilian Koch, Luis E. Velazquez, Tim Barrick, Ryan McKendrick, Ritam Guha, Kalyanmoy Deb, Bradley Feest, and Thomas Antonacci. Their presentations on topics ranging from A.I. integration to Command's use as a training tool for recruits highlighted the diverse capabilities Command Professional Edition has for defence organizations.

Finally, we would like to thank the Marine Corps University for hosting CUE at an evening gala dinner at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. The hospitality of the Museum with both the dinner and tour of it's facilities was a great addition to the conference.

We are looking forward to CUE 2025 next year, and hope to see many old and new faces.
