In partnership with Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS), a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII), NCMS will be co-hosting the NNS Technology Accelerator October 27-29 in Newport News, VA.
For more than 140 years, Newport News Shipbuilding has built ships that have served the nation in peace and war, in times of adversity and in times of abundance. The legacy of 'Always Good Ships' includes the design, construction, overhaul, and repair of more than 800 ships for the U.S. Navy and commercial customers.
As a global, all-domain defense provider, NNS is looking beyond the technologies of today to identify the innovative processes and breakthrough technologies of tomorrow that will continue to strengthen the capabilities of the U.S. Navy fleet.
The NNS Technology Accelerator offers industry and academic partners a rare opportunity to engage with NNS designers, engineers, and leadership and gain insight into the newest class of ships before they join the fleet. Stay tuned for more information coming soon about desired capabilities, registration requirements, lodging information, and more.

How to get the most out of your participation at a NCMS Sustainment Accelerator
Each exhibitor’s space will be visited by individuals representing Government, Industry, and Academia. Please have a prepared “elevator” description of your technology and how it will benefit maintenance and sustainment efforts. This prepared speech should engage your audience quickly. Be prepared to demonstrate your technology or offer a short presentation on how your technology works. Be sure that you have deliverables that speak to the benefits of your technology, and if possible, create handouts or other marketing collateral.
Actionable Items
• Make sure your team has an elevator speech. Be prepared to describe your technology solution/service and its benefits in 30 seconds or less.
• Demo, demo, demo! Demonstrations draw attention at the event.
• Bring plenty of collateral!
• Keep your exhibit space staffed.
• Traffic is unpredictable and intermittent, so plan to have a representative at your table during all show hours.
• Refrain from packing up or leaving before the event ends. An empty tabletop reflects poorly upon your company/organization.
• Online Directory: As a part of exhibitor registration, you are required to submit company and technical abstracts. To make a lasting impact, be sure to complete this package by submitting your logo and quad chart to eventsupport@ncms.org.
