Ohio Defense & Aerospace Forum

The Dayton Development Coalition will present the Ohio Defense and Aerospace Forum Oct. 7 and 8, 2024, at the Wright State University Student Union, bringing together community and military leaders from across the state to share information on our defense and aerospace installations, industries, academic institutions, and local defense communities. These organizations are critical to the defense industrial base and national security.

The Ohio Defense & Aerospace Forum provides an opportunity for defense installation leadership, community leaders, industry representatives, and elected officials to connect, build awareness, and gain a deeper understanding of the current defense environment and the role they play in supporting all facets of national defense.

Communities home to Department of Defense organizations play an important role in supporting military missions. The Ohio Defense Forum will give community leaders, elected officials, industry and small business leaders, and other defense professionals the opportunity to learn more about the current defense environment and the role they can play in supporting their defense installations.
