The Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) is the nation's premier annual forum for enhancing and leveraging the efforts of engineers, managers, technology leaders, scientists, and policy makers across the defense manufacturing industrial base. With attendance of over 1000 participants from government, industry, and academia, the conference provides a platform for leaders and manufacturing subject matter experts to exchange information and perspectives on defense manufacturing policies, strategic direction, best practices, funding opportunities, and the latest manufacturing innovations.

The conference will be held at One Nashville Place in Nashville, TN, USA, and will feature an expanded Exhibit Hall with the leading organizations from the DMC community. The agenda, registration, and lodging information will be posted on this website. Join us in Nashville and be part of the conversation on how to best serve our warfighters with the latest in defense manufacturing.

DMC is the perfect opportunity for CEO- and Flag Officer/SES-level to working-level manufacturing-oriented engineers, scientists, and business practice/policy makers to come together and discuss the best ways to implement technology, design systems, and create policies that will benefit our warfighters.
