2010 Capitol Hill Awareness Day (CHAD), April 13-14, Washington, DC
Don't miss your opportunity to visit the nation's capital and meet your congressional respresentatives. CHAD 2010, formerly known as Capitol Hill Round-Up, is two-day event that includes a grassroots training seminar, social networking, and meetings with members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. The event kicks-off with a Future of Electronic Warfare (EW) Symposium and Multi-National Forum luncheon. The event will be held at the Capitol Hill Club (200 First Street, SE, Washington, DC), which is adjacent to House of Representatives office buildings.
In 2008, the AOC released a report entitled, Electronic Warfare: the Changing Face of Combat. The report focused on themes of leadership, investment, and support for the EW warfighter community. Two years later, the landscape continues to change dramatically, but these themes remain central to the future of EW. The Future of EW Symposium is the first meeting of the new AOC Policy Series and the discussion will provide valuable content for a new and updated AOC report on EW due for release in June 2010.
Industry sponsorships are available beginning at $500 for the Future of EW Symposium. Benefits include sponsorship of meals and activities, corporate logo on all event promotional material and recognition in the final AOC report. CHAD is free for AOC members. AOC international members are welcome to participate in all activities except for congressional meetings, which are reserved for U.S. citizens. The Future of EW Symposium is only $25 (AOC member/nonmember rate). Priority for limited symposium seating is given to CHAD registrants. All activities are unclassified. Register for both today by downloading the form below. Online registration will be coming soon.
