Military and Government Personnel attend at no cost! The Association of the United States Army Institute of Land Warfare Global Force Symposium & Exposition 15-17 March 2016 Von Braun Center Huntsville, Alabama A Professional Development Forum

The Association of the United States Army Institute of Land Warfare (AUSA ILW) will produce an unclassified symposium for members of industry and the military community at the Von Braun Center, Huntsville, Alabama from 15-17 March 2016. The three-day event will include featured presentations from the United States Army Materiel Command, the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology).

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE In today’s complex and rapidly changing operational environment, preparing for the future remains challenging. In that context, the Army launched its operating concept focused on driving innovation to meet the future unknowns. These innovation requirements must optimize prioritization of Army capabilities and resourcing allocation, while increasing material capabilities. In turn, allowing the Army to become a more agile and responsive force to face that unknown. The 2016 AUSA ILW Global Force Symposium & Exposition will explore the capabilities outlined in the Army Operating Concept and how the force transforms from being adaptive to driving innovation for Force 2025 and beyond. Special guest presentations coupled with panel discussions from our senior military and industry leaders, addresses critical points of acquisition, research and development, and partnering between military and industry. For the Army this means restructuring military-industrial programs. The Army must take a hard look at its acquisition processes, with an eye towards the future, in order to continue maintaining a competitive overmatch against potential adversaries. The Army is about people – it’s most precious resource – representing the nation’s best. What our future force requires is a well-led, well-trained, and well-equipped Army. History highlights the effectiveness of our Army leaders and our training. With industry, academic, and Army partnered innovation, the Army will remain the best equipped fighting force in the world. A force that is able to meet the Nations security requirements at home and abroad wherever, whenever, and for as long as it takes.

LIABILITY The Association of the United States Army and the Von Braun Center, their management, and all organizations and individuals who are employed by them in connection with this Exposition will not be responsible to Exhibitor and shall be held harmless by Exhibitor for damage or loss to Exhibitor property, or personal injury during the Exposition Period resulting from the negligence of the Association of the United States Army and the Von Braun Center, their management, and all organizations and individuals who are employed by them in connection with this Exposition. Furthermore, the Exhibitor agrees to defend and hold harmless the Association of the United States Army and the Von Braun Center, their management and all organizations and individuals who are employed by them in connection with this Exposition from any liability for damages or loss of property or personal injury resulting from the activities of Exhibitor, regardless of negligence. AUSA REGULATIONS 1) Complete Show Rules & Regulations will be included in the Exhibitor Services Manual and will be mailed under separate cover.

2) Because of the tight time constraints, logistical problems and local union rules, AUSA has placed the overall supervision of the installation and dismantling of exhibits under Global Experience Specialists (GES), who have been designated the “Official Contractor.” Individual Exhibitors may retain the services of GES at their own expense. Exhibitors desiring to use display contractors other than the designated “Official Contractor” must obtain advance approval from AUSA. A written request must be presented by the Exhibitor to AUSA at least 30 days in advance of the first day of move-in, and must include the name and address of the contractor, the name of the on-site supervisor, a certificate of insurance for the contractor, and a statement signed by the contractor that they will comply with AUSA’s rules and regulations and cooperate with the official contractor, GES—4801 B Hollins Ferry Rd., Halethorpe, MD 21227. 3) Display firms engaged by Exhibitors must comply fully with all rules and regulations listed by AUSA. Labor utilized by outside contractors must be drawn through GES and/or through the business agent of the appropriate union. It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to ensure compliance. 4) AUSA reserves the right to relocate booths when in the best interest of the show. UNION JURISDICTIONS To assist you in planning for your participation in the exposition, we are certain you will appreciate knowing in advance that union labor may be required for installation and dismantling of your display. Alabama is a right-to-work state. This means that any and/or all work done in your exhibit booth area can be performed by any full-time employee of your company. If you need additional help or want an outside contractor to supply labor, then you must use union labor. Stagehands Union—Members of this union claim jurisdiction over all set-up and dismantling of exhibits including signs & carpet. As an Exhibitor, you will be pleased to know that when union labor is required, you may provide full-time company personnel to work along with them. Tipping—GES requests that exhibitors not tip its employees. They are paid at an excellent wage scale denoting a professional status, and we feel that tipping is not necessary. This applies to all GES employees. NO SALE CLAUSE To ensure full compliance with IRS rulings, Exhibitor will not make sales, or solicit, or accept orders for any product or service including advertising space, in the exhibit halls or within other facilities of the exhibition. FIRE REGULATIONS Federal and Local Fire Laws must be strictly observed. Wiring must comply with fire department and underwriters’ rules. Aisles and fire exits cannot be blocked by exhibits. No decoration of paper, pine boughs, leafy decorations or tree branches are allowed. All muslin, velvet, or any other cloth decoration must stand a flame proof test as prescribed by the fire ordinance of Madison County, Alabama. AUSA SECURITY MEASURES The Association of the United States Army will provide watchmen to patrol the exhibit areas during the hours when the exhibits are closed. However, exhibitors are responsible for the security of their own exhibits. Additional security may be arranged for with a security agency, if exhibitor deems it necessary. (Exhibitor will inform AUSA of any such additional security measures.) CANCELLATION OF SHOW The performance of this agreement is subject to any circumstance making it illegal or impossible to hold the exhibit, including Acts of God, war, government regulations, disaster, strikes, civil disorder, or curtailment of transportation facilities. The Agreement may be terminated only for any one of the above reasons by written notice from the Association of the United States Army to the exhibitor. If AUSA must terminate this contract or exhibition (or any part thereof) due to the above mentioned circumstances, AUSA has the sole right to retain such part of the Exhibitor’s rental fee as shall be required to recompense AUSA for expenses incurred up to the time such contingency occurred.
