Norfolk, VA 23510
The DON IT Conference has been approved for May 16-18, 2017, at the Hilton Norfolk The Main in Norfolk, VA. No conference fee will be assessed, but registration is required.
The DON IT Conference is typically held in fleet concentration areas on the West Coast and East Coast each year to minimize cross-country travel by participants. Additionally, conference sessions will be available via DCS.
Purpose
The purpose of the DON IT conference is to:
- Share information about new and emerging IT policy and initiatives, including those that support statutory requirements, cybersecurity, privacy, and electromagnetic spectrum.
- Provide IT-related training that will provide credits toward continuous learning per SECNAVINST 1543.2, which requires that Cyberspace/IT workforce members have 40 hours of continuous learning per year.
- Hear firsthand from DON IT Leadership and provide the opportunity for discussions between DON IT leaders and the DON IT community responsible for implementing policies and processes at the working level.
The DON IT Conference is open to all DON, government, military and support contractor personnel. Military participants should wear the uniform of the day for all events. Civilians and contractors should wear appropriate business attire.
Approval for the conference by DON AA was predicated on the following: rental cars are not authorized for those traveling by air and attendees must use the lowest cost travel options in booking their flights and accommodations. Attendees must remember to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars when attending this event, and request approval for travel and attendance from their individual commands.
Rooming Information
The Hilton Norfolk The Main will offer the government per diem lodging rate of $89 to government employees and contractors with a government badge. Please note, the per diem rate rooms are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
