Dress Code: Formal
The USSOCOM Awards Ceremony and Dinner is a longstanding highlight of USSOCOM's annual conference. It features several awards, including The Bull Simons Award, which was first awarded in 1990. The award recognizes recipients who embody “the true spirit, values, and skills of a Special Operations warrior.” Col. Arthur “Bull” Simons, whom the award is named after, was the epitome of these attributes.
Tickets to the Awards Ceremony and Dinner sell out quickly and are a coveted commodity during SOF Week! These can be purchased as part of your SOF Week Registration or as a stand-alone ticket for those not attending other SOF Week events.
