About this conference
The Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2025 is the nation's annual forum for enhancing and leveraging the efforts of engineers, managers, technology leaders, scientists, and policymakers across the defense manufacturing industrial base. Organized by the Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP) and coordinated by ARCTOS, the conference provides a platform for experts from government, industry, and academia to exchange insights on defense manufacturing policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest manufacturing innovations. The 2025 theme, "Revitalizing U.S. Defense Manufacturing to Secure Tomorrow's Battlefield," focuses on developing manufacturing technologies and capabilities aligned with strategic defense guidance, aiming to rebuild military systems, increase readiness, and harness non-traditional manufacturers for innovation.
