OUR PREMIER AM EVENT RETURNS TO THE UNITED STATES IN JUNE 2025

Join us on June 24-25, 2025 at The Westin Hotel in Pasadena, California for the IDGA Advanced Manufacturing for Defense Summit, where in our 3rd iteration we explore the cutting-edge realm of additive manufacturing, a sector set to surpass a staggering value of USD $76.16 billion by 2030. This dynamic sector, thriving at the intersection of aerospace, space, and defense, is at the forefront of revolutionizing modern manufacturing practices.
 
This gathering, conducted in collaboration with ASTM International, will serve as a nexus of defense primes, government leaders, industry leaders, technical vendors, and startup innovators, where collaborative discussions will unfold against the backdrop of recent investments, as well as program initiatives funded by the current administration and major defense and aerospace companies, adding a layer of timeliness and relevance to the discourse.

Is your company or organization investing in additive manufacturing?The event will provide a forum for you to learn about the latest solutions in the space. For industry vendors, the conference serves as a platform to maximize the reach of your solutions and services within a fast growing community.
