2024 Annual Meeting

In 2024, NAOC will be holding our December Board Meeting in conjunction with the Army Military Munitions Safety Standdown (referred to as M2S2) Technical Meeting in Huntsville, Alabama at Redstone Arsenal.

The membership committee has identified the Embassy Suites by Hilton Huntsville as the venue to hold our Board Meeting and a Reception/Networking event, but are not planning to hold separate technical sessions in December. 

Schedule: Tuesday December 10th through Thursday December 12th in Huntsville, AL at Redstone Arsenal:

  • The December Board of Directors Meeting will be held the morning of Tuesday December 10th at the Embassy Suites, when M2S2 is holding DoD only events.
  • An evening Reception organized by the NAOC will be held Tuesday December 10th at the Embassy Suites.
  • M2S2 events from Tuesday afternoon through Thursday at Redstone Arsenal (see below for registration and agenda).
  • A discounted Room Block for NAOC members has been coordinated for the length of the M2S2 meeting, of $159 per night+taxes.
