SUBJ: 2021 SEA-AIR-SPACE (SAS) GLOBAL MARITIME EXPOSITION
1. The annual Sea-Air-Space (SAS) Global Maritime Exposition
will be held 1-4 August 2021 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 United States companies and
military leaders together for an annual educational, innovative,
and professional 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. This year's exposition will feature U.S. Coast Guard senior
leaders participating in panel discussions on Arctic domain
readiness; Indo-Pacific security strategy; cybersecurity;
diversity and inclusion; illegal, unreported, and unregulated
fishing; COVID-19 response; and more. This event will provide
USCG participants professional development opportunities with
the most up-to-date information regarding the current state
of the defense industry as well as a vision of the future.
Dynamic luncheon and keynote speakers will provide members
an open forum to fully disclose up-to-the-minute information
relevant to CG missions which will improve CG processes and
ensure we set the conditions for a better CG future.
3. In conjunction with Sea-Air-Space 2021, the annual Navy
League STEM Expo will also be held at the Gaylord National
Resort and Conference Center on Sunday, 1 August. Anyone
attending SAS is welcome at the STEM Expo.
4. Subject to command approval, attendance is allowed at no
cost to the government. Supervisors should ensure attendance
aligns with an employee's primary duties. Employees who wish

compensatory time off or earned credit hours (if available),
