Washington Breakfast Club� [NGEN Systems Program Office]

Washington Breakfast Club™ (WBC) is a monthly information exchange which features legislators, agency

executives and officials from all branches of federal government presenting on relevant and timely information to interested industry participants.

For the March 2010 Washington Breakfast Club™, we are pleased to welcome Rear Admiral John W. (Bill) Goodwin, the Assistant Chief of Naval Operations for the Next Generation Enterprise Network (ACNO NGEN (N099)) and Director of the NGEN System Program Office. We've asked RADM Goodwin to provide us a status update on NGEN and information about the DON's approach to increasing innovation and competition on NGEN.

About the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN)

The DON's Next Generation Enterprise Network is the follow-on to the Navy Marine Corps Intranet, the DON’s current shore-based network and operating environment. NGEN will supply a secure information technology infrastructure for the continental United States and select locations overseas.

The NMCI contract, which presently provides services for the DON, will expire 30 September 2010. Following its implementation, NGEN will deliver information transport services and provide access to core enterprise applications for the warfighter and those who support them. NGEN will provide the foundation for the DON’s future Naval Networking Environment, which is envisioned to be a fully integrated enterprise-wide networking environment where data and services are ubiquitously available to DON users.

The doors open at 7:15 AM for registration and networking with a hot buffet breakfast being served at 7:30. Each attendee will be given the opportunity to introduce him/herself and his/her company. Following this our speaker will present their program and we will turn it back over to networking following Q&A.

The cost of the event is $55.00 for prepaid registration. There is an additional $10.00 fee for onsite registration and payment. No-show's and late cancellations will be charged the full event price.
