Why We do it
Held each year on the Friday before the Army-Navy Game, the Army-Navy Conference brings leaders from the military, government, sports and business together with students and veterans for a day of dialogue on leadership, service and resilience. Now in its fifth year and hosted by Patrick J. Murphy, Genine Fallon, Dan Kunze and Sitreps, the conference began at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and has since convened at MIT, Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University before coming to Fordham this year.
Past conferences have featured Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Under Armour founder Kevin Plank, Johnson & Johnson's Alex Gorsky and Gen. James McConville, the 40th Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army.
Hosted by Patrick J. Murphy, Genine Fallon, Dan Kunze and Sitreps.

OUR PRESENTING PARTNER AND HOST
“Too many veterans carry debt out of the service and into civilian life, and they shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.”
