Registration is now open for the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2021 Annual Meeting and Exposition.

The in-person event will take place Oct. 11–13 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Planning is quickly moving ahead now that the District of Columbia has reopened to in-person events.

Attendees also can register for housing, which opened July 7.

This year’s theme is “America’s Army and its People, Transforming for the Future.” Throughout the annual meeting, professional development forums and addresses by top military leaders will focus on Army efforts to build a winning team, with people at the center of everything the Army stands for and must do to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, Army officials said. 

The three-day event will feature keynote speakers from the Army, DoD and industry leaders, as well as professional development forums, awards presentations, networking opportunities and more than 700 exhibits spread over five halls. 

Updated information will be available here. You can register here. Housing registration is available here.

AUSA meeting planners are working to make this a safe, healthy and comfortable event based on public health guidelines for large events.  

The D.C. convention center is doing its part with technology investments to keep the facility clean and safe. This includes increased air filtration and purification and contactless food and beverage purchases.
