defense industrial base, private-sector U.S. companies and military leaders
together for an annual educational, innovative, and professional event located
in the heart of Washington, D.C. 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.

seminars on resumes and networking, and industry employers ready to interview
and hire qualified candidates.
