RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  Air Education and Training Command officials are planning the 2009 AETC Symposium -- scheduled for Jan. 15-16, 2009, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio.

A crowd of more than 2,000 military and civilian attendees from around the country attended the 2007 AETC Symposium, which highlighted the "First Command's" mission, initiatives and impact on the Air Force. The event concluded with the Air Force's 60th Anniversary Ball.

The upcoming event promises to be similar in the overall structure and schedule, but will feature different lectures and briefings, as well as an expected larger pool of exhibitors, according to Col. Kevin McNeight, overall coordinator for the 2009 symposium.

"Last year's event was a tremendous success," the colonel said. "We're going to make a good thing bigger and better this time."
