Defense Industry Day: Strengthening the Midwest Defense Supply Chain

Defense Industry Day is a premier statewide gathering designed to spark collaboration, strengthen industry–government partnerships, and accelerate innovation across the rapidly expanding Department of Defense (DoD) manufacturing sector. The Summit convenes leading manufacturers, emerging suppliers, defense experts, and technology innovators to explore new opportunities, share insights, and advance solutions that strengthen national defense readiness and supply-chain resilience.

This event is designed for manufacturers seeking to deepen their engagement in the supply chain. Due to expected demand, priority for seating will be given to manufacturing leaders. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for organizations interested in supporting and engaging with the event.
