The U.S. Naval Institute and AFCEA International hosted the 32nd annual WEST Conference on 16-18 February 2022. Attendees heard from senior DoD and DHS officials in panel and keynote discussions while exploring and experiencing the latest platforms, leading-edge technologies and state-of-the-art networking capabilities that support the Sea Services' operations.

To complete their missions successfully, more than 150,000 professionals in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard who live in the San Diego area depend on the open discussions and valuable networking WEST provided. Senior military and government officials talk directly to the operators to gain valuable feedback directly from them. Industry leaders attend because they are able to connect with decision makers and operators over the three-day event.
