We're announcing an exciting change in the format for this year's Conference: This year's Conference incorporates the Aviation Week Program Excellence initiative, an industry-led process to identify lessons learned, best practices, and to honor leaders who are setting the standard for performance excellence.
On day two of DefenseChain, delegates will hear about changes in Defense Department acquisition plans, technology requirements for the future, and lessons learned/best practices for program and project execution. The day will culminate with the annual Program Excellence Awards Banquet.
Spouses are welcome to attend a special VIP reception on the evening of October 23rd, and our Program Excellence Awards Banquet on the evening of October 24th.

| Topics to be discussed: | | Who benefits from attending: | Pentagon budget outlook as both threats and debt grow
