Sea Service leaders today confront profound and rapidly changing threats in a landscape of increasingly complex challenges. Join us at WEST, January 28-30, 2025, to engage with Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard leaders and industry and academia experts in this extraordinary opportunity to explore the depths of the unique issues they confront. Engage in discussions, network with peers and be a part of devising the needed solutions to enhance operational capabilities that overcome evolving threats. Gain knowledge and forge connections while discovering the latest platforms, cutting-edge technologies and advanced capabilities crucial to supporting maritime operations.
Co-sponsored by AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute, WEST is the only event in which the makers of platforms and the designers of technologies can network, discuss and demonstrate their solutions in a single locale.
One recurring highlight of WEST is the chance to hear from the Sea Service Chiefs – the Chief of Naval Operations, the Marine Corps Commandant and the Coast Guard Commandant. In addition to the main program, WEST offers three Engagement Theaters: Marine, General, and Information Warfare. These smaller, more intimate venues allow military, government and industry professionals to drill deeper into specific topics and issues.
