Defense Logistics & Energy Summit

The Defense Logistics & Energy Summit is the premier gathering for defense logistics and energy leaders. In 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, a strengthened industrial base, resiliency, and consistent energy resources is key to successful military operations. The 2026 IDGA Defense Logistics & Energy Summit brings together thought leaders from across the US Department of War, including service leaders, the Defense Logistics Agency, allied nations, and industry, to tackle today's toughest logistics, energy, and industrial base support challenges head-on. Discussions will explore cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of defense logistics and procurement, including AI, data analytics for prediction and maintenance, and unmanned delivery. It will also examine cyber risks affecting logistics and supply chain operations, assess vulnerabilities across the defense industrial base, and identify strategies to reduce reliance on foreign materials and mineral resources. The summit will also discuss tackling pressing energy challenges, including rising demand and energy security. This summit is built for leaders committed to supporting the warfighter through logistical support, energy resiliency, and defense industrial base optimization. Join us to pursue partnerships that advance these areas and support the U.S. and allied nations in continuing their success in delivering for the warfighter.
