JNC 2013 Cancellation Notice

It is with sincere regret that the Institute of Navigation (ION) Military Division must cancel this year’s Joint Navigation Conference (JNC) in Orlando, FL originally scheduled for June 10-13, 2013.
 
This decision has not been taken lightly but due to the DOD’s recent policies detailing actions to be taken to prepare for drastic budget cuts, the curtailment of travel, fallout from a scandal with GSA conferences this past year, the current sequestration, and possible furloughs for federal employees, it is no longer possible for ION to ensure the JNC will be able to maintain a high quality technical program and sufficient networking opportunities that makes the JNC so valuable to DOD/DHS employees and their supporting organizations.
 
While it is impossible for us to predict the duration of the current federal climate, the ION is committed to keeping the Institute on a sure and steady track.  At this time we are focusing our energies on next year’s JNC 2014 which will be held June 16-19, 2014 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, Orlando, Florida with the classified session and Warfighter panel being held Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort on June 19. We extend our deep appreciation and best wishes for ION’s DOD/DHS participants during this politically difficult and trying time.
 
All JNC 2013 registered attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors will receive a full refund of fees paid. Registrants and exhibitors are reminded that they are responsible for cancelling their own hotel reservations, and other travel-related arrangements. To cancel reservations at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, call 1-407-351-5555 or 1-800-327-6677, or cancel your reservation online.
 
Sincerely,
Lisa Beaty
Executive Director
ION
