It’s a changing world where threats from great powers and regional conflicts are driving our nation’s military strategy. At the same time, our own fiscal realities and the long list of competing demands are requiring new approaches to free up resources and allow investment back into priorities. At the heart of the solutions and strategies to these complex challenges is innovation. And that innovation begins with the foundation of our military readiness – our nation’s military installations.

Innovation is a big idea and it is already at work as defense communities and installation forge new partnerships. But the future of this innovation can’t be limited by just talking about where we have been, it has to be about creating new ideas and defining where we are headed.

The future of innovation is our destination at ADC’s Installation Innovation Forum 2020 in San Antonio, Texas. More than 700 leaders from 100+ installations, 200 communities and states and top industry experts will gather for three days focused on defining the future of innovation and sharing what works today. From infrastructure support and base operations to resiliency and quality of life, IIF 2020 will provide an in-depth look at the great ideas that are ready to work in your community and installation.

IIF 2020 PROGRAM

IIF2020 brings an all new program featuring nearly 50 in-depth discussions, workshops and briefings. Packed with new partnership case-studies, innovative community and installation led resilience initiatives, groundbreaking base management concepts and technologies, as well as how-to training workshops this program is represents ADC’s most ambitious attempt yet to provide our members and stakeholders with a comprehensive professional development program.
