Advanced Manufacturing for Defense

Join us on June 11-12, 2024 at The Westin Hotel in Pasadena, California for the IDGA Advanced Manufacturing for Defense Summit, where in our 5th iteration we explore the cutting-edge realm of additive manufacturing, a sector set to surpass a staggering value of USD $76.16 billion by 2030. This dynamic sector, thriving at the intersection of aerospace, space, and defense, is at the forefront of revolutionizing modern manufacturing practices.

This gathering, conducted in collaboration with ASTM International, will serve as a nexus of industry leaders, experts, and innovators, where collaborative discussions will unfold against the backdrop of recent investments by industry, as well as program initiatives funded by the current administration, adding a layer of timeliness and relevance to the discourse.

Our senior and expert-led summit promises a holistic exploration of Advanced Manufacturing, focusing on key themes that define its trajectory. From Qualifications and Certifications to Metals and Powders for Space, Cybersecurity for DoD Programs, AM Materials Supply Chain Resiliency, and DoD Sustainability and Lifecycle Assessment Programs, each theme critical to the industry will be thoroughly explored.

This year's event takes a forward-looking approach, delving into the future of manufacturing. Attendees will gain insights into the evolving landscape, emerging applications, and the fascinating realms of aerospace and spacecraft manufacturing. The conference will also equip participants with knowledge from cybersecurity experts, ensuring they are well-prepared to safeguard products and projects from cyber threats.

This event offers a platform for networking, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. Secure your spot and join us in LA this summer for an impactful experience that will explore the future of Advanced Manufacturing.
