Installation Innovation Forum 2023

THE CHALLENGE OF INNOVATION

When it comes to solving a wide range of challenges facing our military, we know installation-community partnerships work. Established tools and a strong culture of collaboration on and off base are fueling a surge in projects and success stories. This progress is opening doors, allowing partners to try new ideas and solve complex issues facing our bases and military families. While not easy work, especially in a period of tremendous change, all defense communities and bases must work together to meet the challenge of innovation today.

A decade ago, ADC launched the Installation Innovation Forum (IIF) to create a place where leaders from all services, communities and across the defense industry could share new ways of thinking about how our bases operate. There is no other event like it, and this year will be our biggest IIF yet.

Don’t miss the tenth Installation Innovation Forum—IIF X—in Orlando, Florida, November 6-8, 2023.

Our venue, the Orlando World Center Marriott, is located near Orlando International Airport (MCO). Serviced by over 30 airlines with direct connections to 103 U.S. cities, it’s never been easier to get to IIF.
