As I shared in a February 6, 2017 blog post entitled “DoD 2017 Product Support Manager (PSM) Workshop”, the 2017 Office of the Secretary of Defense Product Support Manager (PSM) Workshop is scheduled for June 6-8, 2017 at the General Jacob E. Smart Conference Center at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.

Wanted to let the DoD life cycle logistics and product support manager community and our defense industry counterparts know that onsite and VTC PSM Workshop registration is now open! Be advised: onsite registration will close Friday, May 26, 2017 or when the workshop venue reaches capacity. Given past interest in this event, coupled with the relatively low cost (or no-cost options), highly encourage those who are interested in attending to register early for this event.

This workshop, which is the fifth to be conducted since 2011, begins Tuesday, June 6, 2017, with check in starting at 7:30 am, and concluding at 11:45 am on Thursday, June 8, 2017.  Service break-out sessions will be held immediately following the Workshop at 11:45 on Thursday, June 8, 2017.  Workshop attendees will earn 10 continuous learning points. This is an AT&L Approved Workshop. This Workshop's intended audience is government, industry and academia. This year’s theme is “Product Support for the Capabilities of the Future” and will feature government and industry presentations on:

• Day 1 - Product Support as an Enabler of Capability Investment
• Day 2 - Product Support for New Capabilities; and
• Day 3 - Product Support for Dual-Use, Rapidly Acquired Technology
