SUBJ:  2018 SEA-AIR-SPACE (SAS) GLOBAL MARITIME EXPOSITION
1. The annual Sea-Air-Space (SAS) Global Maritime Exposition will be held 9-11 April 2018 at
the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center, located in National Harbor, MD. SAS was
founded in 1965 as a means to bring the U.S. defense industrial base, private-sector U.S.
companies and key military decision makers together for an annual innovative, educational,
professional, and maritime-based event located in the heart of Washington, DC. Sea-Air-Space
is now the largest maritime exposition in the U.S. and continues as an invaluable extension
of the Navy League's mission of maritime policy, education, and sea service support.
2. Subject to command approval, attendance is allowed for local participants at no cost to
the government. Supervisors should ensure attendance aligns with an employee's primary duties.
Employees who wish to attend for personal interests may use annual leave, accrued compensatory
time off or earned credit hours (if available), or leave without pay. Commands outside the
National Capital Region may submit no-cost permissive orders for military members who attend.
3. A shuttle will run from Coast Guard Headquarters to the SAS and back on a regular basis
throughout the three-day exposition. The shuttle schedule is available at the SAS website:
www.seaairspace.org.
4. Registration information is available on the SAS website. There is no charge to attend
the SAS for U.S. Coast Guard military members and civilian employees.
