Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Europe Africa Central (EURAFCENT) announces the full agenda for the Europe Tri-Services Industry-Government Engagement Workshop scheduled for Feb. 27 – 29, in Naples, Italy.
NAVFAC EURAFCENT, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Europe District, Air Force Installation & Mission and Support Center (AFIMSC) Detachment 4 (Det. 4), and the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) are co-hosting the Industry-Government Engagement Workshop. All events are scheduled at the Renaissance Naples Hotel Mediterraneo, Via Ponte di Tappia 25, Naples, Italy.
There will be presentations, talks and workshops exploring subjects in the EURAFCENT Area of responsibility with design and construction industry partners to discuss upcoming programs and provide the opportunity to openly review challenges faced and develop solutions to our most common issues.
"This is a great opportunity for the Region Tri-Services teams to come together and collaborate with our current and future partners about the processes that are currently being used when working executing construction projects within the AOR," Barry Forbes, NAVFAC EURAFCENT's chief engineer, said. "This engagement can help us be more innovative as we look for ways to imprive our processes and programs to execute our mission support to the fleet and to our nation's strategic goals."
Topics for discussion have been cultivated by the services and from a survey of SAME members working in Europe. Attendees will be able to delve into the diverse operational perspectives of the three services, gaining insights into their respective approaches and acquiring valuable feedback.
