Location: Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, Grapevine, TX
The NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting is an annual four-day, NDTA-USTRANSCOM co-sponsored event that began in 2013 to provide U.S. government and industry with the opportunity to identify and solve logistics and transportation challenges, learn about innovative technologies, develop best practices, and build professional and personal relationships.
Education is the central focus with many professional development opportunities along with provisions for obtaining professional certification credits. This year’s theme aligns with USTRANSCOM’s Global Campaign Plan & Strategic Directives considering a wide range of important topics including advancing the JDDE, homeland defense, setting the globe/theater, tyranny of distance, competitors & potential adversaries, Fourth Component (logistics and transportation industry) readiness, allies and partners, and energy.
Topics will focus on operating through contested logistics to ensure the secure, resilient, and continuous movement of personnel, equipment, and fuel for the Joint Force, even when adversaries seek to disrupt or deny global logistics and transportation networks.
The program includes General Sessions with keynote speakers, fireside chats and moderated roundtables. The Transportation Academy consists of over sixty classes organized under topic tracks and taught by subject matter experts including flag officers and industry executives. Professionals can apply to receive Continuing Education Units for their certification requirements.
Information sharing is provided through the NDTA Expo Hall & Resource Center, government, industry and NDTA meetings. Professional development opportunities will be provided for attending young leaders.
The NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting is an official, annual, co-sponsored event. Department of War attendance does not imply endorsement of any non-federal entity.
