by Society of American Military Engineers (SAME)

The Europe Tri-Services Regional Summit is a biennial event organized by the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) in collaboration with NAVFAC EURAFCENT, NAVFAC Atlantic, AFIMSC Det 4, and other regional agencies. The 2026 summit is scheduled to take place from March 3 to March 5 at the Frankfurt Marriott Hotel in Frankfurt, Germany.

The summit aims to address challenges and issues pertinent to the European, African, and Central Commands. Key topics include common operating picture briefings, business opportunity sessions, technical discussions, and roundtable dialogues. These sessions are designed to foster collaboration and innovation among the various military and government entities operating in the region.

An optional pre-conference workshop titled "From Legacy Headquarters to Modern Design: U.S. Military Heritage in Frankfurt – Innovation and Application for Planners" is offered on March 3. This workshop provides six hours of Certification Maintenance credits through a guided walking tour of the Westend Campus of Goethe University in Frankfurt, coupled with presentations from the university and the local German Bauamt.

The summit is ideal for military engineers, government officials, industry professionals, and planners involved in European, African, and Central Command operations. Attendees will benefit from networking opportunities, exposure to diverse perspectives, and insights into innovative solutions addressing regional challenges.
