The summit starts January 20, 2027.

The 2027 summit takes place at Jackson Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

The stated audience includes military services, Department of War representatives, international partners, acquisition authorities, industry participants, senior experts, and decision-makers.

It is most useful for defense contractors, program office staff and acquisition professionals who need to hear service priorities first-hand, since the speakers are mostly colonels and retired general officers and the agenda covers the MV-75 FLRAA, Black Hawk modernization, MRO throughput and digital engineering. Junior engineers or companies without a defense customer relationship will get less from it, as the audience is senior decision-makers and the content is policy and acquisition focused.
