NDTA-USTRANSCOM FALL MEETING The third annual NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting will be held September 28-30, 2015 at the Gaylord National Harbor Hotel, just outside of Washington, DC. The theme of this year’s meeting, Delivering Readiness Amid Risk—Together, underscores the partnership that exists between the government, military, and industry. This partnership shares both the commitment and risk that come with defending our country and supporting our troops. A major component of the Fall Meeting is strengthening this partnership, as well as providing training and insights into the future needs of the Department of Defense (DOD).

The Fall Meeting structure consists of speakers and roundtable sessions, with an emphasis on open, frank dialog and audience participation. Allowing all parties to have a voice in these discussions is so important that this year NDTA is working on a mobile app that will allow attendees the option to text questions in order to provide an additional avenue of communication (details will be provided to attendees in September).

NDTA-USTRANSCOM UNIVERSITY The first day of the meeting, September 28, will be the premiere of the NDTA-USTRANSCOM University. This new event will provide a more in-depth understanding of specific topics of interest to Fall Meeting attendees. The University Day consists of four sessions, during which students will select one class to attend (for a total of four classes over the course of the day). Classes will cover a variety of topics from logistics, supply chain management, contracting and much more with instruction provided by DOD, industry and academia.

COMMITTEE MEETINGS As in past years, members of NDTA’s functional committees will also meet on the first day, September 28. While over the past two years these meetings were open to all Fall Meeting attendees, limited meeting room space means committee meetings will now be restricted to committee members and seats will only be available to observers should space allow.

MENTOR-PROTÉGÉ SESSIONS On the final day of the meeting, September 30, attendees will have another opportunity for professional development during the Mentor-Protégé lunch and one-on-one sessions. Find more on this new event in this issue’s Professional Development column on page 23.
