General Information Display your Army-relevant* products, vehicles, hardware, weapons systems, soldier-support items, innovations, training, methodologies and mission support to thousands of Fort Benning's best.

At the 3-day-long Maneuver Warfighter Conference Expo, you'll find your best chance to showcase the latest technology, products, and services geared toward the U.S. Army and the Maneuver Center of Excellence's mission areas. Here's why. The Maneuver Warfighter Conference Expo:

Attracts key Maneuver personnel, senior leadership, soldiers, NCO's, procurement officers and individuals connected to the ongoing mission of the Maneuver Center of Excellence.
Reaches a diverse group of military decision makers and theater-deploying soldiers from across the U.S.
Enjoys strong & consistent attendance and participation from the Fort Benning community.
Is a cost-effective way to educate hundreds of military professionals about your company, in person.
There are 800 residents of McGinnis-Wickam Hall (where the industry exhibitors will set up) and 27,000 active duty members stationed at Fort Benning – all of whom are actively encouraged to attend this event for specialized and refresher training, tactical information exchange, networking and education. Happening concurrently with the weeklong Maneuver Warfighter Conference, this expo also provides a unique opportunity for exhibitors to reach 1,000+ senior military leaders from both Fort Benning and installations around the world.

Have products/services beneficial to the U.S. Army mission? We'll see you there.

*FBC & MCoE reserve the right to review all industry registrations for applicability to mission areas within The Maneuver Center of Excellence.
