31st Annual Conference and Exposition 

The North Carolina Chapter of AFCEA held its 31st Annual Conference and Exposition from August 11 through August 12, 2009 at the Ft. Bragg Officers' Club.  The theme of this year’s conference was "Securing Our Nation through Information Technology".

Jerry R. Stidham, Chapter President and the Director of the US Army Network Enterprise Center, Ft. Bragg, presided over the event and reminded everyone in attendance of the importance of enhancing our information technologies capabilities to stay ahead of our adversaries. At Tuesday's keynote luncheon, Major General Curtis Scaparrotti, Commander of 82nd Airborne Division, Ft. Bragg spoke to the attendees by way of a Video Tele Conference from Afghanistan.  Accompanying MG Scaparrotti was Command Sergeant Major Thomas Capel, also of the 82nd Airborne Division.  They stessed the importance of quick response to requirements from our war fighters. Lieutenant General Jeffrey Sorenson, CIO/G6 of the Army, expanded on the conference theme as the speaker at the President's luncheon on Wednesday.  The NC chapter of AFCEA contributed over $50,000 this year to local scholarships, science teaching tool awards, soldier support activities, and other worthwhile community functions.  The exposition is an opportunity for military personnel, Department of Defense employees/contractors, first responders, and defense contractors to share ideas and the latest advances in technology.
