Welcome to WEST 2025

Join us January 28-30, 2025 in San Diego, California, for the three-day, premier sea services conference and exposition on the West Coast. Hear about the current sea challenges facing the US Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard and be a part of the dialogue on the opportunities and solutions to address these concerns. Learn and network while exploring and experiencing the latest platforms, leading-edge technologies and state-of-the-art networking capabilities that support the Sea Services' operations.

To complete their missions successfully, more than 150,000 professionals in the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard who live in the San Diego area depend on the open discussions and valuable networking WEST provides. Senior military and government officials talk directly to the operators to gain valuable feedback directly from them. Industry leaders attend because they can connect with decision makers and operators over the three-day event. WEST connects those who design and build the platforms, equipment and weapons with the designers of communications and technical systems.
