the Institute of the Aerospace Sciences (established in
1933 as the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences),
AIAA carries forth a proud tradition of almost 90 years
of aerospace leadership.

The AIAA Defense and Security Forum
(AIAA DEFENSE Forum) is a SECRET/U.S.
ONLY forum for classified and unclassified
discussion of technical, programmatic, and
policy issues pertaining to aerospace in U.S.
national security.
Leaders from U.S. government, military,
industry, and academia explore complex
defense challenges in order to develop
global solutions. The intersection between
defense policy and technical advancements
is examined during highly interactive,
“no-holds-barred” programmatic and
technical discussions. Experts will present the
latest innovative technological breakthroughs
that will integrate with current and nextgeneration defense systems.
“We’ve met a number of people who
have immediate application for the
tools that we provide and that has
been a great opportunity to deepen our
relationships at all levels in the industry.
Being here to have those conversations is
much more efficient than trying track to
them down at their place of work.”
— Colin Johnson, Desktop Aeronautics
“It’s important to find the newest and
best ways to make our airplanes and
our industry better. This is a great
opportunity to network and make that
happen.”
— Rob Fuller, Communications Manager,
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company
What to Expect
• More than 400 participants
• More than 300 papers focused on missile
and weapons systems, testing, and defense.
• Attendees: 59% corporate, 40%
government, 1% academia
Sponsorship Opportunities
• Lanyards
• Welcome Reception
• Daily Luncheons
• Daily Networking Coffee Break
• Advertisement in the final program

“An AIAA forum is a central place
to meet with our customers. It brings
the technical, as well as sales and
marketing people together. We have
access to everyone in one place.”
— Art Mallet, Jr., Business Development
Manager, Dunmore Corporation

www.aiaa.org/cvd
AIAA takes a leadership role when it comes to educating
policymakers about our profession—making sure they know
what’s going on in aerospace and helping to build value
and appreciation for our field so that policies are more
likely to support our work; jobs are created and protected;
and decisions are made based on expert perspective about
what really matters.
The Congressional Visits Day program engages
congressional decision makers by reminding them that
aerospace is not only important to the United States but also
to their local communities.
