Change of Venue

Army attendees of the annual AUSA convention this week aren't the only ones having to deal with tighter controls of conference-related government spending. There is a bit of a downsizing in the works for the Defense Department's corrosion conference next year as well, according to a recent announcement on DOD's www.corrdefense.org website. Originally planned as a five-day "forum" at the Sheraton Waikiki hotel in Honolulu in September 2013, the event is now on the calendar as a one-day affair to be conducted via web-based video-conference, according to the website.
