WHAT IS THE GLOBAL SOF FOUNDATION (GSF)?The GSF is the only professional association for the international special operations forces (SOF) community. It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that advocates for all aspects of SOF deployment, employment, and sustainment in the fight to defeat globally networked threats. The Foundation leads an international effort to increase understanding of SOF, advance SOF capabilities, and responsibly promote the role of SOF by strategically linking public and private sector initiatives.

WHY SPONSOR OR EXHIBIT IN BUCHAREST?1. Romania is the logistics hub for NATO support to Afghanistan and all Black Sea operations.

2. Romania’s defense budget has increased significantly since 2016.

3. Romania is upgrading its Armed Forces to a Western-based structure, starting with SOF.

4. Romania has provided the GSF with its capabilities requirements broken down into four categories: Critical, Essential, Enhancing and Not Needed. Find it on the event website to determine if your offerings are in high demand: www.globalsofsymposium.org/europe

5. The symposium venue is in the national capital of Bucharest in the JW Marriott–a five-star hotel for which we have rates under $130 per night—during beautiful autumn weather.

6. Breaks and receptions will take place around the exhibits, which brings heavy “foot traffic.”

7. This event is co-sponsored by the Romanian Minister of Defense (MOD) and Chief of Defense, who have invited decision-makers from countries in the Black Sea & Baltics regions.

8. At the 2016 Global SOF Symposium – Europe in Vilnius, Lithuania, the MOD and his staff visited EVERY exhibit and spoke to the vendors.

HOW DO THE COSTS COMPARE?Costs to Register and Exhibit at the Bucharest Symposium are less than competing SOF-focused events, and also include daily lunches, coffee, energy breaks, and receptions:
