NORFOLK, Va. -- Marine Corps Systems Command and Program Executive Officer Land Systems conduct an Advanced Planning Briefing to Industry (APBI) every two years, and the next event is scheduled to take place April 30 through May 2, 2012, at the Marriott Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Va. This APBI is the only exposition and conference focused solely on Marine Corps acquisition, critical requirements for innovation and sustainment, platform acquisition priorities and program manager assessments.
Attendees will be able to network with about 1,000 industry participants, visit program manager booths, attend tutorials and hear Marine Corps priorities for the coming fiscally austere environment. The theme for this year’s event is “Lighten the MAGTF.”
The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) is the organization managing the Marine Corps acquisition team’s APBI, and more information can be found on their website at http://www.ndia.org/meetings/2900/Pages/.
