USSVI
2025 South Eastern Conference
February 13th -16th
Hosted by USSVI Charleston Base

That’s Right, it’s been a while since we had a South Eastern Conference
and Charleston is ground Zero this year. We have a plan, and a location
(Charleston South Carolina) armed with a set of dates that will make this
Conference one to remember...

Conference Center is the Double Tree by Hilton, at 7401
Northwoods Blvd, North Charleston, South Carolina, 29406
855 605-0318

The lock has been REMOVED on rooms at all three hotels as of
Monday the 23rd of December. This is to allow you the opportunity to
make your  own reservations  at those three hotels or any other that are
cheaper through the many Apps.

This event is Planned in Charleston during SEWE
South East Wild Life Expo Feb 14-16th.
Come see the “Dock Dogs” , “The Birds of Prey”,
“Ducks Unlimited” and hundreds of Art and Wildlife Vendors from
all over the nation while visiting and fellowship with old submarine
shipmates...

We have the After Battery Submarine Museum, The Cold War
Memorial, Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, Magnolia
Cemetery and the Civil War Submarine Hunley Museum.

***SPECIAL NOTE: WE NEED 200 OF USSVI MEMBERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES FROM OUTSIDE THE AREA TO HELP US PUT
THIS ON WITHOUT CHARLESTON BASE LOSING THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS. GET REGISTERED NOW...
