About the Event:

Defense and commercial aerospace present an uncertain picture ahead. There are a number of major government-sponsored defense projects underway, but policy changes and shifts in defense spending will impact the type of equipment procured by the DoD. On the commercial aircraft front, both Airbus and Boeing are adjusting their production schedules upward due to new orders and increased activity from the airlines, but the future of local manufacturers is yet to be defined.

What are the challenges and opportunities that Aerospace & Defense suppliers in California face? How can manufacturing in the U.S. and in California be revitalized? Join us at this important event to hear industry experts discuss what’s ahead for the future of A&D manufacturing in the U.S. and in California, and learn what strategies and best practices can help manufacturers compete in the new economy.
