Ventura Defense Industry Forum: Strategic Alliance

About: On April 7 – 8, 2026, the Ventura Defense Industry Forum will host its annual Strategic Alliance at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, convening senior defense leaders, operators, industry executives, innovators, and regional partners for two focused days centered on one critical question:

Are we prepared to field, sustain, and adapt capability at the speed the future fight will demand?

VDIF 2026 Agenda: Winning the Future Fight is not a traditional conference built around marketing presentations or theoretical panels. It is designed around alignment, realism, and execution. At this event, attendees will have the opportunity to collaborate directly with government leaders from Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division, and Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare, as well as acquisition professionals, while also connecting with industry partners across the defense ecosystem.

Date: Tuesday, April 7 – Wednesday, April 8, 2026

Place: Oxnard Performing Arts Center (OPAC)
800 Hobson Way, Oxnard, CA 93030
