The NCDF video was used to support an annual NATO exercise called Coalition Warrior Interoperability Exercise (CWIX) 2020, which took take 8-26 June 2020. Due to COVID-19, the event was conducted in a completely distributed fashion--it is usually conducted on site at the NATO Joint Force Training Centre (JFTC) in Bydgoszcz, Poland. During the annual event, senior leaders from NATO nations and organizations are invited to see all the testing taking place to improve interoperability across the alliance--but due to the distributed nature of this year's event, that VIP session was conducted virtually--eVIP Day, on 23 June. The 90-min session was attended by over 150 NATO leaders, and of the 100+ IT systems participating in CWIX, NCDF was one of three selected to be highlighted. The video, along with a ppt brief and a short live demo, were used to describe NCDF to the audience.
