Who can attend?

Pre-registration is now closed. Government walk-in registrants will be welcome at the event.

If you have not received a phone call specifically declining your registration, you have been approved and are welcome to attend. Please remember to bring a photo ID to the registration desk.

Given the objectives of the Navy Opportunity Forum, an invitation to attend the Forum is extended to representatives of the following organizations:

  • Large Defense and NASA contractors,
  • First and second tier suppliers,
  • Navy, DoD, NASA and other federal employees
  • Defense support contractors,
  • Congressional staff
  • Equity investors
  • Fortune 500 companies

Please note that the opportunity to present at the Forum is limited to small businesses, funded through the Navy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs that have completed the Navy Transition Assistance ProgramSM (TAP) or the NASA Glenn Pilot. The invitation to attend the Forum is extended to those who utilize new technology in fulfilling Defense or NASA requirements and are looking to partner/invest in new technologies.

Attendance is Free

There is no registration fee for this event.

Registration Process

Space is limited and registration requests will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. We therefore encourage you to register early. Your registration is actually a request to attend and each registration will be individually reviewed to assure compliance with our intended audience.

Confirmation

Online registrants will receive an initial confirmation notice that their registration has been received. All registrants who have provided an appropriate email address will receive an email confirmation when their registration is processed. In order to pick up your registration package during conference check-in at the Hyatt Regency, you MUST present a valid government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license).

Each attendee is required to check in at the Registration desk. Admittance to the presentations and the Exhibit Hall will be limited to those with nametags.

Getting the Most Out of the Forum

We believe that assistance provided to you before the Forum, will help assure that you get the most out of the time you will spend at the Hyatt Regency. To achieve that goal, we have added various features to the Forum website to help you with your preparation. The Virtual Acquisition Showcase® allows you to select materials that you may wish to circulate internally to determine if selected opportunities have broader interest. The ability to schedule private meetings with companies ahead of time on-line, also helps you to plan. At any time, please feel free to contact Mike Morgan (585) 617-9465 if we can provide additional assistance to help you maximize the value of Forum participation.

Substitutions and Cancellations

Registration is limited. If your travel plans change, please advise of your replacement attendee or cancellation by sending an email to mmorgan@dawnbreaker.com. This will allow someone else the opportunity to attend if your company or group will not be represented.
