Registration

| "Military/Government participants from Tinker AFB were originally advised that the registration fee to attend the local Logistics Officer Association Symposium in OKC would be waived. That was the prior-dated event, though. Will the $40 registration fee still be waived for Tinker AFB military/government attendees for this rescheduled event? | Please be advised that last year was an exception based on federal budget constraints. The LOA board has decided that a small registration fee will be required for all attendees this year (including the local attendees from Tinker). For further details, you may reach out to the LOA team at President@loanational.org. |

https://gaylordnational.boomerecommerce.com/Pages/Security/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f Note to exhibitors: When you use the online order forms for Heritage and/or the Gaylord Resort, you will be taken to the SelectUSA Investment Summit exhibitor order form. This is the correct site to use. LOA is partnering with SelectUSA in order to provide you with these services. Your confirmation emails might note the SelectUSA Investment Summit, rather than the LOA event. Both events are occurring at the same time, in different sections of the Gaylord Resort. Thanks to SelectUSA partnership, we will have these services available for the LOA event. |
