2026 Velocity Summit

The Velocity Summit is a one-day event built around a central premise: America’s defense manufacturing capacity problem is, at its heart, a velocity problem. The United States possesses extraordinary engineering talent, technology, capital and advanced manufacturing expertise, but modern requirements are exposing the consequences of an industrial system that can take years to translate needs into manufactured capability, struggle to expand production when demand changes and depend on complex supply chains for everything from specialized machine parts and castings to propulsion systems, electronics and advanced materials.
