This webinar will unpack the global dependencies, geopolitical tensions, and cyber threats that expose these critical sectors to disruption and explore real-world examples— from the Colonial Pipeline attack to the global chip shortage —and discuss actionable strategies for mitigating risk; including reshoring production; diversifying suppliers; and implementing cutting-edge technologies, like artificial intelligence and blockchain in logistics. Register to Attend>>

This event will include the 11th annual DoD Small Business Vanguard Awards Program that honors members of our community whose work sustains and improves the health of the defense industrial base. The nominees selected for the awards demonstrated excellence and significantly contributed to the small business mission during FY24.
