Defense Logistics & Support 2024 Post-Show Report

IDGA’s 3rd annual Defense Logistics & Support Summit returned to the D.C. area this past October, and what was the largest iteration of the event to date, 100+ professionals representing the U.S. military, industry, and academia assembled in one room to discuss winning multi-domain battles through the lens of technology-driven defense logistics.

The 2024 summit featured a speaker lineup that represented all corners of DoD, and included presentations that ranged from maritime logistics, to cybersecurity threats in the supply chain, and much more.

The 2025 Defense Logistics & Support Summit is already taking form with continued support from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) as well as U.S. military branches such as the Army and Marines.

This year’s summit, taking place September 29-30 at the Sheraton Reston Hotel in Reston, Virginia, will bring together defense logistics leaders for another two-days of high level discussions.
