With an evolving threat environment, assertive near-peer competitors and technology that is transforming the battlefield at light speed, our installations and defense infrastructure are in a battle to keep up. Staying ahead will require a greater level of collaboration among the military, communities and industry that leverages resources and know-how to uncover new approaches that can serve as national models. Innovation will provide the key to adapting to looming challenges and that begins with ADC’s Installation Innovation Forum 2019.

IIF is the only professional development forum designed to bring together installation leadership with their community counterparts and top industry experts to share ideas and learn about tangible ways to advance innovation at your base and community. Last year’s sold out event included senior leadership from over 100 military installations and 150 communities, states and regions. Registration is now open.

Call for Innovators:

The future of military installations and defense communities will be defined by partnerships and technology. We’ve already begun to see this evolution play out across the country as bases turn to an ever broadening scope of industry and community services and capabilities.  Each year we see new projects push the boundaries on what types of partnerships and technological innovations are possible. This is the focus of ADC’s popular annual event, Installation Innovation Forum.  Next March, 800+ community, industry and military leaders from across the country will gather in Miami for the largest professional development event of its kind focus on sharing best practices.

Applications for the 2019 Innovators Program has now closed.
