Modern Day Marine has a unique and time honored tradition as the premier collaborative venue for active duty Marines, naval, joint, and coalition partners, industry, acquisitions professionals, Congressional Staff, and academia, to come together to focus on the way ahead for both improving current readiness, and implementing the changes envisioned in Marine Corps Force Design 2030 – The Commandant of the Marine Corps’ case for what must be done to maintain a resilient and lethal expeditionary edge as America’s “stand in force” for deterring peer competition as called for in our National Defense Strategy.

 As full partners for force design, the co-host organizations of the Marine Corps League and the Marine Corps Association, expect to welcome over 350 exhibiting organizations and 10,000 attendees to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., with the majority of attendees consisting of active duty military of every rank and occupational background. This is a singular opportunity for industry to meet with Marine Corps Systems Command and Marine Corps Warfighting Lab representatives, take advantage of one-on-one meetings with program managers, network with Marine Corps leaders, and attend presentations on the latest service level requirements, opportunities and trends.
