Conference Sessions Qualify Toward Continuous Learning Points For Acquisitions Professionals

The Air Force Association's Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition brings together Air Force leadership, industry experts, academia and current aerospace specialists from around the world giving insight to past, present and future aerospace challenges. The association says it attracts the top echelon of USAF senior leadership, including the commanders of every USAF command, and military dignitaries from air forces worldwide.

In addition to the keynote address by Ashton Carter, Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics, other portions of the Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition qualify as professional development training to be counted toward CLPs. This also could include the Technology Expo, from which contracting, purchasing or engineering personnel may benefit from the knowledge gained about new products or innovations being exhibited. Air Force acquisitions professionals can earn 0.5 points per hour, maximum of four points per day and 20 points per year.

The 2011 Conference is planned for September 19 -21 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, just across the river from Alexandria and minutes from downtown Washington, DC. This year's conference boasts more than 50 conference addresses and 50,000 square feet of the latest and greatest technology from industry in the Exhibit Hall.
