SEPTEMBER 9-10, 2026

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

Within 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, broad industrial base resiliency and consistent energy resources is the key to successful military operations in the 21st century.

At the 2026 IDGA Defense Logistics & Energy Summit, you’ll join thought leaders from across the US Department of War and the services, 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 impacting 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 logistics experts, you’ll address the energy resilience challenges facing the defense industrial base and evaluate ongoing efforts to stay ahead of near-peer competitors.
 
This summit is built for leaders committed to supporting the warfighter through logistical support, energy resiliency and and defense industrial base optimization. Join us to engage in partnerships that will push forward these areas and support the U.S. and allied nations to continue their success in delivering for warfighters.
