Why Attend the Summit (And Why Your Approver Will Agree)

The Nuclear Deterrence Summit is where U.S. nuclear deterrence leaders align on strategy, budgets, programs, and execution. If your work touches policy, acquisition, infrastructure recapitalization, cyber/nuclear security, industrial base, or mission assurance, this is the once-a-year forum to get clarity—fast.

• Actionable program signals: Roadmaps, milestones, contracting cues you can brief on Day 1 back.
• Direct access: Engage decision-makers across DoD, DOE/NNSA, national labs, and prime contractors.
• Risk reduction: Validate requirements, shorten cycles, and avoid costly rework.
• Cross-stakeholder alignment: Bring policy, acquisition, and technical perspectives into one conversation.
