Winning Tomorrow's Multi-Domain Battle Through Technology-Driven Logistics
Significant events including COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War have exposed critical vulnerabilities and weaknesses in our supply chains and Defense Industrial Base. In an era of strategic competition, we must confront these challenges decisively and quickly.
The 2nd
Defense Logistics & Support Conference will provide a vital platform to learn, share and connect with your peers and counterparts to ensure that the US can build agility and resilience into defense-critical supply chains.
The Conference will bring together up to 200 senior leaders from across all warfighting domains in the U.S. and allied nations to address:
- The rapid integration of modern technologies and innovations that address the movement, processes, resourcing, sustaining, and redeploying or reallocating of materiel and personnel, as well as gaps that we need to get ahead of to ensure supply chain resilience
- The way the way government shapes policy and DoD's respective contracting and acquisition professionals work with the DIB to increase collaboration and transparency
- Driving innovation in logistics to ensure optimal efficiency, agility, and operational excellence across the armed services
- The identification and application of elements that buy you time, mobilize the joint force, enable Warfighter readiness, and mission success
Defense Logistics & Support is the essential event for the logistics community, bringing together world-class speakers and industry from across the supply chain.
This is not only an important forum for staying ahead of the curve of advances in technologies and concepts but, through virtue of bringing together a valuable mix of people, the forum helps cataylse developments and discuss new logistics methods as we debate how we will fight tomorrow and win the future multi-domain battle.
