Why You Should Attend This Summit:

The United States has benefited from decades of largely uncontested logistics operations, but the character of war is changing. It is essential to be prepared to fight and win in an environment in which access to key infrastructures such as waterways, ports, bridges, roads, airfields, and highways is disrupted, damaged, or nonexistent. Amidst an increasingly complex geo-political threat landscape, DSI’s 3rd Annual Assured Logistics Summit will aim to strengthen deterrence by improving logistics and sustainment support across the Department of Defense’s operations.

As the DoD recognizes it can no longer rely on operating in uncontested logistics environments, this year’s Assured Logistics Summit will explore how each of the services is adapting their approaches to enable mobility and freedom of movement, deliver resources and equipment, and sustain Warfighter operations at the point of need. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from, engage with, and ask questions of senior leaders across the community to learn how the DOD is strengthening the security and resiliency of supply chains and improving efficiencies across logistics and transportation operations. Speakers will examine efforts to integrate emerging and advanced technologies such as AI, predictive analytics, 3d printing, rechargeable batteries, and autonomous technologies to reduce logistics demands, improve supply distribution, and provide power at the tactical edge.

This year’s Assured Logistics Summit will explore how to increase resiliency in supply chains, protect critical manufacturing operations, and enable mobility and freedom of movement when operating in austere, resourced-limited, contested logistics environments. Join us at the 2024 Summit to hear from senior leaders from across DoD, military services, academia, and industry on how they are looking to modernize logistics solutions to maximize the operational readiness and sustainment of the Warfighter.
