Military.com is excited to host the 2012 Spouse Summit, presented by USAA. The Summit will take place in the Washington, DC area on March 2-3 and will focus on topics of critical importance to Military Spouses and their families. From the website:
Military.com’s Spouse Summit is a first-of-its kind event aimed at informing and empowering military spouses. The Summit brings together Subject Matter Experts to address the most pressing issues facing military families today. Whether it’s learning how to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of career or education goals, or how the state of the economy could affect military pay and benefits, the 2011 Spouse Summit will cover the substantive issues which are crucial to maintaining the mental, physical and financial health of our military families.
This is a great opportunity for military spouses to get the latest, most relevant information on the issues which affect military families from a myriad of experts, and to ask your questions of them. While the Summit will be full of substance, we’re going to have some fun while we’re at it. We’ll be hosting a cocktail party on Friday, March 2nd, which will offer a fun, relaxing environment for military spouses to get to know one another and network and comedic performances by Mollie Gross and some of the SpouseBUZZ authors are on tap.
The 2012 Spouse Summit is a great opportunity to get your friends together for a weekend get-a-way in our Nation’s Capital. Washington is beautiful during the spring. Come on out and enjoy a little down-time, meet new friends and walk away with some fabulous freebies. This promises to be an informative, fun weekend and we hope to see you there.

I live in the NoVa area so if anyone needs any info on the hotel area or anything ask away! This is exciting for me so I can get to know some more people. Anyone want to carpool or take the metro I can help with that as well.
That's so nice of you, Jen. Look forward to seeing you there!
Hey Jen, I'm in NoVa too! I'm open for carpooling or just meeting up with others that are going too!

Are retiree spouses also invited, that isn't addressed here.
Absolutely, they can come!
Are there going to be events for male spouses?
AJJ – The topics of the panels pertain to all spouses – male and female. We'd love to see a lot of male spouses there!
Hopefully we can invite some companies to accept resumes during this activity.
Can active duty attend as well?
Active-duty can attend, we'd love to have them. It's actually open to everyone but targeted at military spouses.
will there be a summit on the west coast?
Would anyone like to exchange e-mails? I'd love to make some friends to meet in person at the event, I'm a new mil spouse and I'm looking for some networking!
Hi Jamie, I would love to! I'm also a new mil spouse and would love to get to know the other spouses.
Also wondering if there will be a summit on the West coast. Would love to attend but cannot travel to East coast . . .
No plans as of now, Melissa, but definitely something that will be under consideration for the future.
