About this conference
AUVSI Defense is a forum dedicated to aligning U.S. military priorities with the technologies, policies, and partners shaping future force readiness in uncrewed systems, robotics, AI, and autonomy. The event focuses on off-the-record conversations with leaders in the defense sector, emphasizing multi-domain rapid technology evolution and integration, optimization of manufacturing and supply chain capacity, acquisition reform, procurement, funding, and workforce development. It addresses the unprecedented investment in uncrewed systems by the U.S. to operationalize trusted autonomous systems, strengthen the industrial base, and secure the edge in a contested global environment. The forum operates under the Chatham House Rule, is closed to media, and limited to citizens of the United States and allied or partner nations.
Sponsorship options
Sponsorship opportunities are available in various tiers including 3-Star, 2-Star, 1-Star, and Promotional Partner levels, designed to strengthen America's defense industrial base, foster collaboration, and provide exposure to key decision-makers shaping the future of autonomy in defense.
