In accordance with our communication yesterday, we have made the difficult decision to reschedule the NDIA Fall Forum that was planned for next week (Oct 3-4, 2023). Several factors went into our final decision to postpone, including the Defense Bill or a Continuing Resolution has still not been signed, as well as our responsibility to you all as our conference attendees, speakers, sponsors, and vendors.
We have initiated discussions to identify a new date for this event and will communicate as future plans solidify. Be on the lookout for guidance on credit/refund policies.
In the meantime, if you have any time sensitive questions, please contact the NDIA Fall Forum Chair, Cary Cheshire ([email protected]) directly.
We appreciate your support and understanding, and we look forward to holding the NDIA Fall Forum soon.
