Warrior Expo 2010
Warrior Expo 2010 , ADS, Inc. to support bi-coastal expositions
Virginia Beach, VA (February 25, 2010) – In addition to the annual Warrior Expo East in Virginia Beach, Virginia, ADS announces the premiere of Warrior Expo West in San Diego, California. Bi-coastal events provide customers across the country more convenient access to preview the latest in operational equipment from over 100 industry-leading manufacturers who will be present and available for questions and product demonstrations.
Warrior Expo West in San Diego, CA, will be held at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina on May 5-6, 2010. This event was driven by demand from west coast warfighters unable to attend Warrior Expo East in Virginia Beach. ADS will also host Warrior Expo East on July 15-16, 2010 at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
“We have a diverse set of customers but they all have something in common whether they’re warfighters preparing for deployment, federal agencies and local law enforcement responsible for homeland security, or first responders engaged in fire and emergency services – they all have mission-critical equipment needs.” says ADS CEO Luke Hillier. “They’re often put into life threatening situations where their equipment is the difference between life and death or the difference between being successful or unsuccessful in accomplishing their mission.” Hillier added, “We’re proud to support Warrior Expo, it is an important part of our commitment to providing the very best equipment and services at the right time and at the right place so our customers can be successful.”
Both expos are open at no cost to all military, federal, state and local agency members with a valid ID. Attendees will see firsthand operational products and logistics support solutions available to complete their missions. They will also have the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions that drive operational effectiveness. Breakout session topics include escalation of force, expeditionary equipment solutions for deployment and disaster relief, medical preparedness, and FR protection in clothing and textiles.
Jason Wallace, ADS Vice President of Sales says, “We’re really excited about Warrior Expo because it is more than just a trade show. The breakout sessions provide an educational opportunity for our customers to learn more about topics that drive operational effectiveness.”
