PAE Maritime is responsible for aircraft carrier, surface, expeditionary, mine warfare, and auxiliary Fleet ship construction and sustainment. The event is an opportunity to hear about its priorities and engage with PAE leadership; it is not described as a contract award solicitation.

The notice says attendance is limited to two representatives per organization because of space. Organizations should coordinate internally before submitting registrations; additional registrations may be declined.
Who should consider attending
The event is open to representatives of large and small companies, academia, consortiums, and other government organizations interested in potential collaboration with PAE Maritime.
