AFCEA WEST 2021 is the premier Sea Services event focused on operations in the Asia-Pacific region. The conference is a showcase of emerging systems, platforms, technologies and networks that will impact all areas of current and future Sea Service operations. Senior military and government (or Department of Defense) officials will discuss the challenges they face and how the industry can help address them.
WEST is the place for makers of platforms and designers of technologies to discuss and demonstrate their solutions in a single locale. Industry leaders network and learn about military requirements–not just the what, but the why and connect with decision makers as well as operators in a professional environment away from the office and Beltway.
The Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, in collaboration with local partners, is organizing a business program for 10 Canadian companies who can demonstrate their potential to succeed in this market and industry.
Registration: Deadline for registration is December 12, 2020.
