On behalf of the Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP) and in coordination with ARCTOS, you are invited to the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2024, taking place in Austin, Texas from December 2-5, 2024.
DMC is the nation’s annual forum for enhancing and leveraging the efforts of engineers, managers, technology leaders, scientists, and policy makers across the defense manufacturing industrial base. Leaders and manufacturing subject matter experts from government, industry, and academia exchange information and perspectives on defense manufacturing policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest manufacturing innovations that will benefit our nation’s warfighters.
Attendees range from CEO- and General/Flag Officer/SES-level to working-level manufacturing-oriented engineers, scientists, and business practice/policy makers and includes technology implementers, system designers and representatives of our soldier, sailor, airman, and Marine warfighters. Typical attendance is over 1,000 primarily government and industry participants with a smaller complement from academia.
The Conference agenda, registration, and lodging information will be posted on this website. The expanded Exhibit Hall will include all the leading organizations from the defense manufacturing community. We look forward to seeing you in Austin!
