SOFIC is held annually in the May/June timeframe at the Tampa Convention Center. The conference is expected to run three days, starting on Tuesday and completing on Thursday. Due to the nature and magnitude of set up for exhibitors the Tampa Convention Center must be reserved starting the Sunday prior to the event through Friday of the same week.

Interested organizations/associations will be responsible for the advertising, registration, collection of all monies, agenda with Government input, scheduling of large plenary rooms as well as break out rooms, exhibit hall, food service for breakfast and lunch, and the Gala Dinner. The Gala Dinner is a Black Tie event and will be held Wednesday night of SOFIC.
For planning purposes organizations/associations should plan on the following to help understand the magnitude and scope of the conference:

Attendees: Approximately 9,000

Exhibitors: Approximately 350 Industry and 30 Government Booths

Exhibit Hall: Approximately 86,000 sq ft

Gala Dinner: Approximately 130 tables and 1,300 attendees

USSOCOM is interested in innovative and unique ideas on how to make SOFIC a continued success story. The Command is looking for information that show how your organization/association plans on executing the 2015 SOFIC Conference with an option to host the 2016 Conference.

Your response should be no longer than 15 pages and include past performance references (name of conference, dates, and a Point of Contact with phone number and e-mail) of at least 3 conferences within the last 3 years with the same size, scope, and complexity of a SOFIC as well as evidence of hosting a Black Tie Gala Dinner. Industry must also propose dates for SOFIC along with a letter of availability from the Tampa Convention Center, marketing/communication plan, registration plan, sample agenda, food service plan, audiovisual plan, badging plan, schedule to show milestones leading up to the conference, and how you plan to incorporate the Government booths.
