February 27-29 | Naples, Italy
Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo
Via Ponte di Tappia 25, Naples, Italy
NAVFAC EURAFCENT, USACE Europe District, U.S. Air Forces in Europe, and SAME are co-hosting an Industry-Government Engagement Workshop to address issues in the European Theater.
Topics for discussion have been cultivated by the services and from a survey of SAME members doing work in Europe. We look forward to an interactive event that will work to strengthen the partnership between government and industry. This is a unique opportunity to discover the different operational perspectives of the three services, understand how each approaches their work, and to garner feedback to help inform processes and procedures in future collaborations.
Space is limited. To allow for broad industry representation, only two representatives per private industry company may participate. If the event is not at capacity by February 9, companies may register additional representatives.
