The Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) will hold its inaugural TotalForce+ Conference on Oct. 28-29 at the Gaylord National Resort at National Harbor, Md., even if the government remains shut down.  

Registration is FREE for all currently serving military/uniformed servicemembers and their spouses, congressional staff, members of Congress, and federal government employees (employed by the Department of War, Department of Veterans Affairs, USPHS, or NOAA). Parking at the event is also free for these audiences.  

The TotalForce+ theme is “Advancing Solutions for a Stronger Future,” and MOAA will provide a vital space for uniformed and civilian service leaders, industry experts, and partners to unite, tackle challenges, and connect decision-makers with solution providers. 

The two-day agenda includes dynamic presentations, interactive Q&As, and networking opportunities with thought leaders in talent management, leadership development, readiness, health care, career transition, veteran and retiree experiences and other areas critical to success of the total force. The commitment is to keep our nation’s defense the strongest in the world. 

MOAA’s status as a veterans service organization means a lapse in government funding does not mean a lapse in collaboration and participation. Total Force+ is proud to host key military and civilian leaders in the DoW, VA, and all our many partners from industry. MOAA’s status as a VSO also means attendance and participation is permissible, just like this week's Association of the U.S. Army conference. Attendees can also consult their service branch or federal agency regarding any specific attendance or travel policies.
