Transformation Warfare becomes “East”

2007-10-03T11:22:00.000-04:00

In a move to officially brand Transformation Warfare as the East Coast version of the popular West event in San Diego, AFCEA and USNI have decided to officially change the name of Transformation Warfare to “East”.

The dates, location, schedule of events, etc. will remain unchanged.

AFCEA and the Naval Institute are committed to continuing to make AFCEA/USNI East the East Coast bookend event of West, and feel this will help build brand awareness of their two successful conferences. In 2007, the event drew 2,669 attendees, fifty percent were military/government technology decision-makers.
