ARLINGTON, Va., May 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --  Registration for the Air Force Association's (AFA) 2012 Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition is now live! This unique three-day symposium will be from September 17 to September 19, 2012, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on the Potomac, in National Harbor, just across the river from Alexandria and minutes from downtown Washington, DC.

AFA's Air & Space Conference is an ideal opportunity for professional development for military, government, industry, and academic professionals interested in the latest in aerospace developments. The Conference offers invaluable networking opportunities, interesting and educational forums, and expert dialogue on national defense and aerospace issues.
