Speak up — Shape the Future of Maintenance and Sustainment Enterprises
Share insights and discuss critical issues with defense sustainment and maintenance professionals at all levels
Attendees will have the opportunity to personally interface with senior decision makers and have their voices heard. No other event provides access to the breadth and depth of DoD resources and technical material like the DoD Maintenance Symposium.
Join delegates representing the full range of the maintenance and sustainment communities — military personnel, government civilians, industry, academia, maintenance and industry leadership to expand your network, gain awareness of critical issues, advance your knowledge, share insights, and address the complex challenges that are influencing the DoD maintenance and sustainment communities.
Plan to attend the 2019 Department of Defense Maintenance Symposium December 9–12, in Spokane, Washington, and make a significant contribution to improving materiel readiness for our warfighters. The event is co-located with the Defense Maintenance and Logistics Exhibition.

This event has been reviewed and approved by DOD as a DOD-sponsored event and accordingly meets departmental guidelines for attendance by all military services, agencies and industry.
