February 9-12, 2025, NCMA's Nexus will be at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA to convene the entire acquisition team to support our mission to advance contract management’s nexus with related acquisition communities.

The 2025 AUSA Global Force Symposium & Exposition will explore the capabilities outlined in the Army’s Modernization Strategy to drive transformational change. Special guest presentations, coupled with panel discussions from our senior military and industry leaders, will address critical points of research and development, acquisition and contracting, force sustainment, strategic divestiture, and industry partnerships.

For the Army, this means greater synergy with industry partners to ensure a modernized defense industrial base and an Army capable of conducting MDO. The Army must continue to streamline its acquisition processes, and continue to invest in the modernization of facilities and infrastructure, training, and skill sets required across the AME, with an eye towards the future, to maintain overmatch for great power competition.

With support from the Army Materiel Command, the Army Futures Command, alongside the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) and other Army Commands, this three-day event highlights how the Total Army will modernize and transform into a multi-domain capable force.

The GEOINT Symposium, which began in 2004, is the largest annual gathering of geospatial intelligence—and possibly intelligence—professionals in the nation. With an average total attendance of more than 3,000, the event is a unique and unparalleled opportunity to speak to your extended constituency spanning government, military, the contractor community, and academia.
