2015 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
ABOUT THE DEFENSE COMMUNITIES
NATIONAL SUMMIT
We have arrived at a crossroads for communities and installations — a
juncture defined by years of budget battles and indecision. No matter which
way you turn, the path forward is full of challenges and unknowns. In one
direction is the status quo — sequestration, continued deadlock, death by a
thousand cuts and the hollowing out of our bases and the communities they
call home. In another direction is BRAC – a painful process that doesn’t solve
every problem but may add some clarity to the way ahead. There is a third path
emerging, one defined by partnership and collaboration that is forging a vision
for the base of the future. This crossroads requires every path be explored,
and preparations made for what is to come. It is a time for communities and
installation supporters to be heard and have an opportunity to understand how
the decisions of policymakers will impact them in the near future.
WHO ATTENDS?
Representatives from over 150 communities, regions and states with active
military installations
Representatives from 90 percent of communities, regions and states with
closed or
redeveloping installations
Congressional members and committee staff
More than 200 representatives from Army, Navy , Air Force and Marine Corps
installations and installation management agencies, including installation
commanders, staff and representatives from DoD
Representatives from other government agencies with an interest in defense
community
installation issues
These are the issues that frame this year’s gathering of nearly 700 leaders
from defense communities, the military and private sector in DC for the 2015
Defense Communities National Summit. The largest event of its kind, the
Summit brings together not only state and community representatives, but the
key public and private players from the installation management community
across all military services.
Hundreds of Industry representatives involved with installation management,
base redevelopment, energy development, community-military partnerships,
military family and veterans services, and related issues
With nearly 60 sessions and briefings, and great networking with your peers
from across the country, there is only one place to be June 4-6 -- the 2015
Defense Communities National Summit.
In three days you get the pulse of what is happening in DC and how it will
affect your community, company or program.
