Welcome to the 2012 JETC website, where you’ll find all the information you need to make your conference attendance an enjoyable experience, including the conference program, registration, lodging, exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities, and more.

For 2012, SAME HQ and the St. Louis and Scott Field Posts have planned a strong technical program that lays the foundation for the conference and is supported by a robust, informational expo area, as well as exciting technical tours and ample networking and social events.

Updates to this website will be made regularly, right up to the event start date. Please feel free to come back often to see new information.

Drawing from his experience as a humanitarian and Navy SEAL, Eric Greitens, Ph.D., will address leadership, team building, overcoming adversity and the power of service in a humorous, yet powerful, keynote address to 2012 JETC attendees. As a Navy Seal, Greitens deployed four times: to Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and Southeast Asia. He served as the Commander of a Joint Special Operations Task Unit, a Mark V Special Operations Craft Detachment, and an al Qaeda Targeting Cell. Upon returning from Iraq, Greitens donated his combat pay to found The Mission Continues, a non-profit organization that works with wounded and disabled veterans to build new lives as citizen leaders. Among his many accomplishments, Greitens is a golden gloves boxer, a sub-3 hour marathon runner, a White House Fellow, a Rhodes Scholar, and best-selling author of Strength and Compassion and The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL.

Expo
The 2012 JETC Expo is set to be one of the largest ever, with companies large and small exhibiting. In addition, each of the uniformed services will be represented and will feature networking lounges for the relaxation and networking pleasure of attendees.

Throughout the conference, breaks, lunches, prize drawings and other events will take place in the Exhibit Hall. You’ll also enjoy numerous exclusive exhibit hours, when no other events are scheduled—so you can take full advantage of the networking opportunities, as well as the product demonstrations.

For companies looking to enhance their visibility, exhibiting at the 2012 JETC is a great opportunity to reach our niche market of DOD and industry leaders.
