About this conference
The Hill Industry Partner Exchange (HIPE) is a three-day outreach event that provides aerospace and supply chain professionals a unique opportunity to meet and discuss current issues, trends, lessons learned, technology, requirements, and the future of the USAF supply chain. The conference, themed "Rapidly Changing Environments," brings together professionals from military, state government, industry, and academia at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center. Attendees can expect to hear from industry innovators, academia, State representatives, and military keynote speakers. Discussions will highlight how leaders from the aerospace industry and supply chain must identify changes, overcome risk, and rapidly implement plans to increase capacity, fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and strategic partnerships for efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in global supply networks. The event offers insights into cutting-edge technologies, regulatory updates, and best practices. There are opportunities for companies to participate in Supplier Search Interviews (SSI) directly with USAF supply chain personnel and present capabilities. Representatives from the 748th Supply Chain Management Group's squadrons, Air Force Contracting, DLA Contracting, Small Business Office HAFB, Strategic Alternative Sourcing Program Office (SASPO), Weber State University, and the State of Utah Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity will be available to provide mission requirement information, discuss technical issues, and engage in market research.
