GovCon International Summit | Potomac Officers Club
RegisterWHAT
In today’s increasingly competitive and tense global landscape, power projection, unity, technological innovation and collaboration are critical to the success and security of the United States and its allies. The Pentagon’s first-ever National Defense Industrial Strategy supports these efforts and aims to catalyze “generational change” within the defense industrial base by creating a more robust, resilient and dynamic modernized defense ecosystem.
For the first time ever, the GovCon International Summit brings together esteemed government and industry speakers from across the globe, the DOD and the U.S. combatant commands to discuss how international partnerships, coalition warfare and emerging technologies are reshaping the defense landscape and how the U.S. can stay ahead of the curve.
