Following record-breaking editions of IDGA's Defense Logistics & Support and Operational Energy Summits in 2025, the two flagship events are joining forces for 2026.

Taking place September 9-10 in Falls Church, Virginia, the new Defense Logistics & Energy Summit will unite logistics, procurement, and operational energy leaders from across the U.S. DoD, allied nations, industry, and academia to explore the future of defense sustainment in an increasingly contested and technology-driven environment.
