ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  Robins Air Force Base in partnership with the Robins Regional Chamber of Commerce Aerospace Industry Committee, has announced the date for the 2016 Program Executive Officer Review and Outlook. The event will be March 24, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Museum of Aviation's Century of Flight Hangar.

The event supports the May 2015 Air Force Strategic Master Plan: "The Air Force will invigorate the extraordinary talent resident in America's industrial, commercial, and academic sectors by increasing communication, healthy competition, and transparency." 

The one-day PEO R&O is designed to inform the private sector on portfolio focus areas and acquisition forecasts that are essential for Robins organizations to achieve their mission of providing war-winning capabilities on time and on cost. The PEO R&O accomplishes this by bringing interested parties together for a series of presentations by Air Force senior leadership. Confirmed briefers include Lt. Gen. John Thompson,  Air Force Life Cycle Management Center commander, and Lt. Gen. Lee Levy, Air Force Sustainment Center commander. Eight program executive officers are also expected to provide an overview of their respective portfolios, to include anticipated funding as well as projected future requirement opportunities. All materials and discussions will be unclassified.

Attendance is open to all interested parties. Early registration price (before Feb. 26) is $75, then the registration cost increases to $90. Lunch is included. Current government employees will be admitted free and may purchase lunch for $15.
