SEPTEMBER 9-10, 2026

Winning Tomorrow's Multi-Domain Battle Through Technology-Driven Defense Logistics 

In a changing world, modern militaries require an agile force that can secure key resource inputs, manufacture with both cost-effectiveness and scale, and rapidly deliver capabilities to warfighters in the field. Maintaining effective supply chains, a strengthened industrial base, resiliency, and consistent energy resources is the key to successful military operations.

At the 2026 IDGA Defense Logistics & Energy Summit, you’ll join thought leaders from across the US Department of War, including service leaders, the Defense Logistics Agency, allied nations, and industry, to tackle today’s toughest logistics, energy, and industrial base support challenges head-on.

Participate in discussions that explore the cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of defense logistics and procurement, including AI, data analytics for prediction and maintenance, unmanned delivery, and more. Examine the cyber risks affecting logistics and supply chain operations, assess vulnerabilities across the defense industrial base, and identify strategies to reduce reliance on foreign materials and mineral resources. Alongside other experts, we will discuss tackling the most pressing energy challenges, including rising demand and energy security.

This summit is built for leaders committed to supporting the warfighter through logistical support, energy resiliency, and defense industrial base optimization. Join us to pursue partnerships that advance these areas and support the U.S. and allied nations in continuing their success in delivering for the warfighter.
