Registration rates for Technology, Systems & Ships 2018 are as follows:
Technology, Systems & Ships Symposium 2018 has moved to June 18-20 at the request of the Navy to better accommodate their ability to fully discuss the upcoming shipbuilding portfolio. This event will showcase new programs such as the new FFG(X) as well as programs of PEO Ships, PEO LCS, PEO Carriers, PEO IWS, and PEO Submarines. This will be the most important event in 2018 to get a full understanding of the direction the Navy is taking regarding future ships, systems and technologies. Beyond the shipbuilding programs other topics such as ship modernization, weapon systems, combat systems, and C5ISR will be discussed. This event provides industry an opportunity to showcase their platforms and technologies that should be considered by the Navy’s acquisition and engineering communities. The venue for this event will be FHI 360 located in Washington, DC which provides an intimate environment for one on one discussion with Navy decision makers. Space for table tops and opportunity for sponsorship will be limited. Please contact Erica Cox at ecox@navalengineers.org for more details.
These are opportunities to gain extra exposure at the event but are not considered full sponsorships and do not include the sponsorship benefits listed above.
