Welcome Welcome Dear Attendees, We are so delighted to be back in California for another A&D SupplyChain Americas. According to the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, California has deep roots in the Aerospace and Defense industries and continues to provide the critical infrastructure the Department of Defense relies on to protect our national security. National security activity generates nearly 820,000 direct and indirect jobs for California citizens and produces a total economic impact of $181B each year.

This year’s conference will continue to serve as the backdrop for networking opportunities and knowledge exchange with senior leaders in commercial, defense, aerospace manufacturing, raw materials, finance, and technology. Representatives will gather for two program-filled days, and to provide a more structured networking environment we have rolled out a new networking tool that will help to facilitate a more productive experience, Brella. You should have already received information on creating your profile. If you have not taken the time to do so before arriving, there is still time to create and use this vital tool to help build your network.

You will hear more about Brella during the conference.

Identifying and evaluating current risks and how to avoid disruptions in the supply chain is critical. What are companies doing to prioritize and prepare for disruptions to lessen the impacts of predictable and unpredictable events in the near future and beyond?

12:30 pm Networking Lunch – Ballroom B 1:35pm

The Game-Changing Impact of Digital Transformation in the A&D Supply Chain

Hosted Session by

The aerospace and defense industry continues to grapple with persistent challenges in quality and performance within its supply chains. Amidst the complexities of modern manufacturing and intricacies in government contracting, the defense industrial base has also managed disruptions exacerbated by the economic uncertainties stemming from geopolitical tensions and global events like the COVID pandemic. This session explores essential strategies for supply chain resilience: • Emphasizing supplier diversity and digital solutions for enhanced visibility and management.

• Offering practical insights on risk identification, effective contingency plans, and monitoring key performance indicators.

• Highlighting the evolving supply chain dynamics, stressing continuous assessment, improvement, and robust relationships through digital transformation.

Padma Raghunathan, Product Manager, Deltek + TIP Technologies

Multiple OEMs were unable to deliver their projected number of aircrafts or engines as supply chain shortfalls continue to plague the industry. How are OEMs, suppliers, logistics operators and others addressing these challenges? What policy initiatives are being discussed to bring relief to some of the most vulnerable issues? This panel will discuss some of the more problematic issues decision makers are facing today and offer ideas on how to move beyond some of the more crippling problems.

2:55pm

The Weakest Links in The Aerospace Digital Thread – Factory Digital Twins Most OEMs and Tier 1s have embraced the Digital Thread of the product life cycle as the basis for step improvements in productivity. Undoubtedly, future aircraft launches will have these productivity gains baked in their business cases.

While enormous advances are taking place in developing and sustaining Product Digital Twins, factory digitalization or Factory Digital Twin technology applications are still patchy even at the OEMs. It doesn’t have to be this way. We will explain the essential elements of the Digital Twin technology with examples that are affordable, easy to implement, and powerful productivity drivers on the shop floor.

The question is not whether your company needs it for ‘faster & better’ decision-making in production, but how best to accomplish it.

Agenda Agenda 3:45pm

Stuck in the Doldrums: State of the Industry Report

While demand signals have strengthened considerably as both commercial aerospace and defense have recovered, persistent supply chain bottlenecks have prevented the industry from growing to its full potential. At the same time, there are both long-term opportunities and long-term threats on the horizon for aviation and aerospace. Sustainability pressures could constrain air travel demand growth, but they could also usher in a wave of investments in new alternative propulsion and fuel technologies.

Glenn McDonald, Principal, AeroDynamic 4:20pm

Is More Consolidation Inevitable in the Global Supply Chain?

Large groups are continuing to reshape their portfolios and in theory economies of scale should help to mitigate some of the many pressures facing the supply chain.

Many sectors have a fragmented supply base, but gaining synergies from aerospace acquisitions can be hard. Will interest in the aerospace and defense sectors from PE and other financial buyers start to wane in the face of uncertainties about longer-term prospects? What are the pros and cons of more consolidation?

Moderator: Craig Musson, President, WECAN2 LLC Richard Apps, Director, Counterpoint Market Intelligence Limited 4:50pm – 6:00pm

How Did They Do That? – Orizon, Kansas and their Workforce Renaissance

One of the biggest challenges facing companies large and small, government and industry, is the ability to recruit top talent. Recruiting of this scale takes an all-industry approach; academia, government, and industry to find solutions. Join us for this impactful conversation with executives as they discuss expanding opportunities in industries. What are the new initiatives they are taking to manage the persistent labor problem plaguing the industry?

Moderator: Michael Bruno, Executive Editor, Business, Aviation Week Network Matthew Godinez, Director of Performance and Programming, State of Kansas Charlie Newell, CEO, Orizon Aerostructures 9:40am

Examining the Mergers & Acquisition Landscape

This panel will provide valuable insights into the outlook, areas of opportunity, and challenges facing A&D M&A. In particular, the panel will answer big questions facing the industry – How large of a role will M&A play in reshaping the industry in 2024? What sub-sectors within A&D will be ‘hot’ and which ones will be ‘soft’? Will commercial aerospace activity pick up or will defense continue to dominate?

Moderator: Michael J. Richter, Global Head of Aerospace & Defense Investment Banking Group, Lazard Ron Epstein, Managing Director, Aerospace & Defense, BofA Global Research Rob Mullins, Ph.D., Senior Managing Director, CSP Associates Bryan Perkins, Founder and CEO, Novaria Group

The Future is Now: What’s Next in Advanced Air Mobility

What’s next in the operationalization of AAM in military and commercial use at scale? What could increasing demand mean for the supply chain in the future? The discussion will cover infrastructure, government regulations, security, consumer response, and more.
