Key USACE leaders will attend, as well as other government, industrial, and academic partners—all with a goal of working together to solve the Nation’s toughest problems in military programs, civil works, geospatial support, contingency operations, research and development, and interagency and international services.

Keynote speakers will include Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite, 54th Chief of Engineers and Commanding General of USACE; Charles “Ray” Alexander, USACE Director for Contingency Operations; Lloyd Caldwell, USACE Director of Military Programs; and James Dalton, USACE Director of Civil Works.
