As the Air Force forges ahead in its digital transformation journey, Secretary Frank Kendall’s seven Operational Imperatives continue to guide the service’s long-term objectives, capabilities and programs, especially in light of the intensifying peer and near-peer competition.

Software, zero trust, cloud, long-range fires and JADC2 remain at the forefront of the Air Force’s focus areas as the service embraces new technologies and approaches in support of critical national security missions both at home and abroad.

Distinguished leaders from the Air Force and the private sector will convene in dynamic discussion surrounding the service’s most important strategies, opportunities and priorities during POC’s 2023 Air Force Summit.

This in-person two-day unclassified event is designed to continue the exploration of intricacies and significance of Joint All Domain Warfare; the key objective is to further understand how this remarkable construct will shape the future warfare by maximizing the potential of connecting many sensors to the best effectors through the appropriate command and control system.  JADC2 will be the linchpin of this construct to speed military decision-making over that of adversaries to execute inside of their decision cycle.

LCID kicks off with a classified session and continues with unclassified presentations, keynote speakers, panels, and leadership meet-and-greet exchanges. One on one meetings will also be available on 2 August. The event as a whole focuses on the Life Cycle Management Center's future requirements, collaboration opportunities and topics covering the entire acquisition life cycle and management across AFLCMC portfolios.  

With the exception of the Classified Session in the morning of Day 1, topics will be discussed in detail at the Distribution-A (Approved for Public Release; distribution unlimited). 

Historically, LCID has hosted almost 1,000 Government, Industry, and Academia attendees and every AFLCMC Program Executive Office (PEO). 

We are excited to announce that once again in 2023, Air Force Research Lab’s (AFRL) Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI) and Life Cycle Management Center's (LCMC) Life Cycle Industry Days (LCID) will take place within the same week (31 July - 4 August). Both events will be co-hosted with Dayton Defense and both events will be hosted at the Dayton Convention Center. LCID and WDI will remain standalone events; we are combining the events in one week as to gain efficiencies in the sharing of information, collaboration and discussion.

WDI offers three days of in-depth unclassified and classified comprehensive presentations, panels, one-on-one technical sessions, and leadership meet-and-greet exchanges focused on the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Science and Technology.  Technical portfolios and contracting opportunities for each of Technical Directorates and supporting organizations will be presented by the Tech Directors and SMEs.
