WASHINGTON — Technically, fall doesn’t begin until Sept. 22. But for those in the Air and Space Force community, the changing of the seasons gets officially underway on Sept. 16, when airmen and Guardians gather at National Harbor, Md., for the annual Air and Space Forces Association conference.

Pack your finest suit, get in line for your Pumpkin Spice Latte and prepare for the conference by watching our video above, in which Breaking Defense’s Aaron Mehta and Michael Marrow set the stage for the conference.

And make sure to check out our landing page throughout the conference, as we’ll have a large team on site bringing you the best stories from the event.
