NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting

The National Defense Transportation Association (NDTA) and U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) co-sponsor the NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting 2026, at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center, Grapevine, TX, Monday, October 26 through Thursday, October 29, 2026.

The Fall Meeting is an annual four-day, NDTA-USTRANSCOM co-sponsored event that began in 2013 to provide U.S. government and industry with the opportunity to identify and solve logistics and transportation challenges, learn about innovative technologies, develop best practices, and build professional and personal relationships. Education is the central focus with many professional development opportunities along with provisions for obtaining professional certification credits.

This year’s theme aligns with USTRANSCOM’s Global Campaign Plan & Strategic Directives considering a wide range of important topics including advancing the JDDE, homeland defense, setting the globe/theater, tyranny of distance, competitors & potential adversaries, Fourth Component (logistics and transportation industry) readiness, allies and partners, and energy. Topics will focus on operating through contested logistics to ensure the secure, resilient, and continuous movement of personnel, equipment, and fuel for the Joint Force, even when adversaries seek to disrupt or deny global logistics and transportation networks.

Our program includes General Sessions with keynote speakers, fireside chats and moderated roundtables. The Transportation Academy consists of over sixty classes organized under topic tracks and taught by subject matter experts including flag officers and industry executives. Professionals can apply to receive Continuing Education Units for their certification requirements. Information sharing is provided through the NDTA Expo Hall & Resource Center, government, industry and NDTA meetings. We will provide professional development opportunities for our attending young leaders.

Please come join the discussion and help us power global deployment & distribution! See you soon at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, TX!
