The outlook for policy and defense business under the next Presidency
DOWNLOAD a PDF of the conference brochure and program
After the most significant and wide open Election Campaign in many years, what will be the priorities of the next Administration and what will shape the future of the DoD, the four US fighting arms and the global defense industry which is so crucially dependent on the United States? Join the discussion of these vital questions at this year's US Defense Conference.
This year's conference will asses the foreign and defense policy debates the campaign unfold. Whatever the results of the Election, a cyclical decline in defense expenditure is anticipated by many analysts but there is an alternative view that the expenditure dynamics may be changing. This will be the focus of the opening session which also looks at the inescapable lessons for the future that stem from this decade.
The forum will also examine the impacts of the budgetary outlook on industry. Some defense activities are recession proof; others will grow regardless and others face harder times. The different prospects in a huge and complex market are to be put under the microscope and speakers will assess the future of the industry, both domestically and internationally. This forum will conclude with a reappraisal of the policy, strategy and equipment challenges confronting Washington.
