MEMBER REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS On the registration form there is a discount for AFCEA members. To receive the member rate for conference registration you must be an active AFCEA individual member. If you sign up for the member rate and do not meet the criteria, you will be charged for the correct rate. To join AFCEA or verify current membership status: CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS AND SUBSTITUTIONS Refunds must be requested in writing and received no later than March 20, 2006. Written cancellations received by that date will be refunded in full. Due to security clearance requirements, no substitutions are permitted after March 28, 2006. No-shows will be invoiced. SECURITY CLEARANCE CERTIFICATION All attendees must be U.S. citizens, cleared Top Secret and currently indoctrinated for SI and TK. Clearance certification must be originated by your Special Security Officer (SSO) or Contractor Special Security Officer (CSSO). Please Note: Regardless of any previous certification process with the DIAC, clearances must be passed due to the size of this event. This applies even if you are already PERM-CERTED to an element of the DIAC.
Clearance Questions: DIRECTIONS Please be advised that due to this Symposium the South Gate will be very busy and may have delays. Plan to arrive early and when possible, carpool with others. For a Google map of the South Gate, please click here. Once you are through security at the South Gate, proceed to the DIAC on Chappie James Boulevard for approximately one and a half miles. The DIAC will be on your right at the corner of Chappie James Boulevard and Boundry Drive (right past the building with all the new construction). To enter the DIAC, see "DIAC Entry" below PARKING On Bolling AFB, you may park in any open spot, but you likely will find available parking very limited. Two specific parking garages have been designated for symposium attendees. These garages (two-story cement structures labeled 357 and 358) are located off Thomas Road (once through the South Gate proceed two miles on Chappie James and make a right onto Thomas Road. The parking garages will be on your left.) Shuttle buses will run approximately every 15 minutes from the parking garages to the DIAC. For a map of available parking areas, click here (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader) Please note that parking at the Commissary is prohibited. DIAC Entry All Symposium attendees must enter the DIAC through the "J-Link" entrance off Boundary Drive in the rear of the building (farthest from the new construction). Look for the security guards on Boundary Drive, about a tenth of a mile off Chappie James Boulevard. For a overview of the area please view the parking map. METRO Due to limited parking on Bolling Air Force Base, the DIAC suggests using the Metro as an alternative. Take the Metro Green Line to the Anacostia stop. Look for the shuttle bus marked DIAC, this shuttle will take you directly to the DIAC. You will be required to show a valid state or federal issued photo identification (i.e. a drivers license, state identification card, passport). DAILY LUNCHEONS As part of the registration fee, each day a seated lunch will be provided in the Bolling AFB Officers Club. You will be asked to make your menu choices when completing the online symposium registration form. The lunches will also include special guest speakers. Transportation will be provided to and from the Officers Club.
