About Supplier Day 2024

Supplier Days will take place Monday, March 4th through Wednesday March 6th in person in Washington, DC!

The event will begin at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel with optional pre-event meetings with representatives from the shipyards, followed by an optional Welcome Drinks. More information will be provided as the event approaches. 

The official schedule of events will begin on Tuesday, March 5th with an afternoon of briefings on U.S. Navy submarine programs followed by networking and a dinner with keynote addresses.

On Wednesday, March 6th, the SIBC will host its traditional Congressional breakfast on Capitol Hill where suppliers will have the opportunity to meet with members of Congress and their staff. Following the breakfast, SIBC members should plan to attend scheduled meetings with their U.S. Senators and Representatives to advocate for support of the essential submarine-related legislative priorities.

​

Similar to last year, GDEB, joined by NNS, is planning to host focused group discussions (topics to follow) with active suppliers and will be available for one on one sessions, as time permits on Monday, March 4th, 2024. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please contact your GDEB buying manager or Hanna Mellaly (hmellaly@gdeb.com) for more information. 

Hotel Rooms: We have a room at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel. Please book early as the room block typically sells out.  

More information regarding the schedule of events will be released as the event approaches.
