Now is the perfect time to see who was in the room at Armored Vehicles USA 2025. Our Attendee Snapshot gives you an inside look at the key organizations and job titles that joined us in Detroit, many of whom are already confirmed to return for 2026.

From top U.S. military commands and program offices to leading industry partners and academic experts, Armored Vehicles USA 2025 brought together the key decision-makers driving the future of armored warfare.

This June 24-25, the armored vehicles community gathered in Detroit, Michigan, for the 7th iteration of IDGA’s Armored Vehicle USA Conference. The return to the Detroit area proved to be a great success due to its proximity to important Army and Marine Corps organizations such as PEO GCS, PEO CS&CSS, TACOM, GVSC, and PEO Land. This year’s conference was the largest to date with 300+ attendees representing the U.S. DoD, industry, and allied militaries.

The 2025 event provided an international focus as military leaders discussed lessons learned from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, post-election insights on funding and budget allocation, and featured panel discussions that brought DoD and private sector representatives together on the same stage.

This post show report will highlight many of the key takeaways from two days of thought leadership presentations. In addition, readers will find results from on-site polling, a list of attending organizations, and testimonials from attendees.
