The DLA Supply Chain Alliance Symposium & Exhibition is hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association in partnership with the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land, Maritime and Aviation Class IX supply chains to provide a forum to discuss logistics support strategies and challenges, and to streamline efforts to better support the warfighter. In odd years, the conference is held in Richmond, Virginia, and in even years it is held in Columbus, Ohio. The 2025 event was held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Virginia, June 11-12.



The forum draws together government and industry leaders to discuss sustainment aspects of the National Military Strategy and the Defense Department’s first-ever National Defense Industrial Strategy. Dynamic speakers from Industry and Defense with backgrounds in logistics and acquisition, as well as General and Flag Officers from the military services will provide critical perspectives across elements of the end-to-end DOD supply chain along with breakout sessions that will give valuable insight on doing business with DLA.
