Registration is now open for the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2024 Annual Meeting and Exposition.

Scheduled for Oct. 14–16 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., the three-day event will feature addresses and professional development forums by top Army and DoD leaders on the Army’s transformation and its efforts to grow and prepare the force for a complex future battlefield.

There also will be more than 700 exhibits spread over five halls featuring the latest technology and equipment.

Attendees also can register for housing, which opened in June.

All Annual Meeting registrants will receive AUSA’s new Digital Access Pass, which can be downloaded on your smartphone and used to access events in the convention center, including contemporary military forums and receptions.

A printed badge is still required to visit the exhibit halls.

Pre-registered Annual Meeting attendees will receive their Digital Access Pass in early October.

The Army is in a period of “profound transformation,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said earlier this year, as it modernizes its equipment and capabilities, overhauls its recruiting workforce, restructures the force and boosts quality-of-life programs for soldiers and families.

And it’s doing it all quickly, said Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George.

“The world is more volatile today than I have seen it in my 36-year career,” George said. “A spark in any region can have global impacts. Meanwhile, the character of war is changing rapidly. Our Army is as important as ever to the joint force. We must deter war everywhere and be ready to respond anywhere.”

In addition to keynote addresses and contemporary military forums featuring senior Army leaders, Annual Meeting attendees also will be able to view Warriors Corner and Innovators Corner presentations, visit more than 700 exhibits and network with leaders from the military and industry.

Also scheduled are several award presentations, including the winners of the Best Squad Competition, NCO and Soldier of the Year and the Marshall Medal, AUSA’s highest award for selfless service to the country.

This year’s Marshall Medal honoree is the United States Army Noncommissioned Officer.

The annual meeting is free, but registration is required. Some seated events require separate reservations and may have a fee.
