The Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) is hosting the second International Special Operations Forces (SOF) Human Performance (HP) Symposium from 10-12 February, 2020. This SOF HP Symposium is being held in conjunction with the 5th International Congress on Soldier’s Physical Performance (ICSPP; 11-14 February 2020) at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec City, Canada.
