Description
Event Overview:
AI is reshaping the aerospace and defense industry at speed. Yet, the true differentiator is no longer experimentation, it is the ability to scale intelligence securely, responsibly, and with outcomes that matter.
Mission Ready AI: Navigating the Path to Measurable Outcomes is an exclusive, in person gathering that brings together senior leaders across the aerospace and defense industry to explore how organizations are moving decisively from experimentation to execution. The focus is clear: turning AI ambition into real world impact across acquisition, engineering, supply chains, manufacturing, and sustainment. This curated afternoon of insights and dialogue will throw a spotlight on how leading organizations across this industry are charting a clear AI flight path, balancing innovation with security, responsibility, and resilience, while keeping outcomes front and center for the warfighter, the customer, and the enterprise.
The sessions will feature perspectives from Venice M. Goodwine, former CIO of the U.S. Air Force and current CIO and AI Product Owner at Arlo Solutions, along with a panel discussion and interactive AI workshop featuring Kristin Colacchio, VP of Information Technology at L3Harris. Leaders from Dassault Systèmes and Cognition will also share practical insights on deploying AI securely, responsibly, and at scale.
