This is your invitation to participate as a Founding Sponsor of one of the most timely and exciting groups to form in the Federal IT marketplace in recent memory - the Defense & Security MOBILE WORKING GROUP.

In Spring 2011 AFCEA DC held it's first annual Next Generation Mobile Technologies Symposium.  The conference garnered participants from across, defense, security & federal civilian IT organizations, and generated an incredible amount of buzz.  Government speakers, corporate sponsors, and individual attendees all universally wanted more, and urged AFCEA DC to keep the conversation going, and ramp up the energy even further.  We heard the clarion call, and the mission was an important one - to pull together the mobile experts and professionals in our midst into a living, breathing, working, learning, cohesive Defense &  Security Mobile Community.   We got to work immediately, forming a standing AFCEA DC Mil/Gov MOBILE WORKING GROUP, and used the summer to meet with government and industry mobile experts for advice, direction, and to lay the foundation for a public launch in Fall 2011, coinciding with the new AFCEA Season.  Now Fall is here, launch is imminent, and we are asking your company to take a leadership role and join the Defense & Security MOBILE WORKING GROUP as a Founding Sponsor.

(See the bottom of this page for a full list of the Sponsorship levels and benefits. Each sponsorship includes Mobile Working Group Membership for employees of your company.)

The "Mobile" Revolution is currently one of the most promising, and potentially disruptive, opportunities for technological progress and future business/economic growth - advancing on our Military, our Federal Government, and our Country with tremendous speed.  AFCEA members companies represent the full range of capabilities needed to help Mil/Gov Executives exploit the power of "Mobile" to ramp-up efficiencies, nail changing requirements, address shrinking resources, and thwart asymmetric threats.  Corporate America is embracing and unleashing "Mobile" with great agility, and, alarmingly, so are our enemies abroad.  The U.S. Military, Security Community, & Civilian Federal Government must address this challenge by accelerating mobile adoption & deployment, whenever and wherever there is a demonstrated need or benefit to our citizens.  By communicating and collaborating in the formative years of the Mobile Revolution, industry and government can work together to overcome any security/technical hurdles, navigate tricky policy/approval challenges, and achieve cooperation across traditional lines of business, and stovepipe of command.  Together we can achieve Mission Success at the Speed of Mobile

There are six standard annual sponsorship packages available (Platinum, Gold, Silver Small Business, Bronze, Brass Small Business), and a top-level Diamond Sponsorship, which includes a spot for your CTO on the Mobile Sr. Leaders Advisory Board.  Higher Level Sponsorships each support a major initiative of the MOBILE WORKING GROUP, and brand you as a sponsor on that Section of the MWG website.  The MWG member site will serve up services and information to the Mobile community on a year-round basis.  See full benefits and details below on these Founding Sponsor opportunities:
