Thanks to many great member suggestions and requests, RallyPoint is putting on our first ever RallyPoint Conference: RPx 2014!

RPx 2014 will take place at the Raleigh Convention Center in North Carolina on SATURDAY, August 16th. It will be an incredibly fun and engaging event with great speakers, a new product announcement, networking events, and an Awards Show with dinner. The Awards Show will be hosted by SSG Robert Burns, and the Master of Ceremonies throughout the day will be SSG Kevin McCulley, both long time RallyPoint members.

Please use this discussion thread to ask questions, suggest additional events, and recommend specific award categories for our Award Show (dinner is included). The award categories and nomination process will be announced in the coming weeks.

There is a discount for Blue Ribbon members, E-1 through E-5, and full time students. Tickets and more information are available here:

Hope to see you there!

I would like to go, but unfortunately I already planned my leave back stateside two months ago, unless they overbooked my flight out of here. and a 5 day leave is out of the question. Is this event a regular? Will this happen next year? Thanks

Just curious, posted a little over a month ago, anyone have an answer?

Is this going to be a yearly event? If so is the location going to change? I wont be able to attend this year but would love to in the future as long as it doesn't travel to far from home....because I would love for the wife to come...but child care will also be a consideration.

Yes, it's our intent to make it annual. Also, I think there will be opportunities to hold lower key regional RPx meet ups in between the larger annual events.

Sorry you won't be able to attend... we hope to see more Marines from Lejeune as possible attendees!

MAJ Weiss,

I think the idea of lower key regional RPx meetups is an excellent idea. While online networking is great it's getting out shaking hands and meeting people face to face that can have some huge dividends.

Sounds like a great event, but unfortunately, it's on the other side of the country from me. Doesn't look like I'll be able to make it this year.

Sounds like it will be a fun filled day and evening. Unfortunately I will not be attending. I already have 1 trip planned for this year and it will be in October. Going to my annual ship reunion in Deerfield,IL.
I hope that everyone that attends has a wonderful time. Maybe it will be closer next year or if it's in the same place next year maybe it will be later in the year say October as I will be travelling to Norfolk,Va in October of 2015. If the conference is going on around the time I am going to Norfolk, I could possibly do both.

I will see what I can do to attend.

Reading through the comments though, many will not be able to attend for various reasons like deployed, stationed in Korea, Germany, Japan etc. Is there a plan in place to mail those individuals (if they are deserving) their "awards".

Yes, for those OCONUS, we will find a way to accommodate for sure. This is going to be a great event.
