About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command (AETC) has issued a Special Notice for a Marketing and Advertising Industry Day scheduled for May 1, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. The event will be hosted at the University of Texas at San Antonio National Security Collaboration Center and is designed to engage marketing and advertising industry professionals. This is not a formal solicitation or request for proposal, but rather an informational and feedback-gathering opportunity for the AETC's marketing and recruiting efforts. The industry day falls under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541810 for Advertising Services, with a small business size standard of $25.5 million. An introductory video for the event has been made available to provide additional context and background.

The government intends to publish a list of attendees to encourage subcontracting opportunities, and no proprietary information will be discussed during the industry day.
