Fund it. Build it. Field it.

Registration is open for the Army Demand Signal Forum on April 28, 2026, in Palo Alto, CA.

This full-day, closed-door event will provide attendees with direct insight into validated demand from Army leadership to create alignment between capability and capital, moving emerging technology from concept to contract and into the field faster. 
 
This is a must-attend for private sector capital and defense tech companies looking to deliver disruptive technology to the warfighter.

The Demand Signals.

• Contested Logistics: Getting Supplies Through, No Matter What. How do we deliver critical resources to our forces quickly and reliably, even when an adversary is actively trying to stop us and we are operating thousands of miles from home?
• Long Range Fires: Precision from a Distance. We need to be able to strike targets accurately from hundreds or thousands of miles away, using everything from missiles to drones, and ensure the strike is successful despite any enemy interference.
• Autonomous Systems: Smarter, Faster, Safer Operations with Robotics. How can we use autonomous systems—both in the air and on the ground—to more flexibly move troops, transport supplies, and enhance the safety and effectiveness of our soldiers?
• Command and Control: Decisions with Confidence, Even in Chaos: We need to combine data from countless sensors into a single, trustworthy picture of the battlefield to make faster, better decisions. This system must work when GPS is unavailable and resist enemy attempts to deceive or disrupt it.

Acquisition. Aligned. Accelerated.
Attendees will hear from Army leaders about the capabilities the service is investing in and acquisition officials from Army Pathway for Innovation and Technology (PIT) and Army FUZE who will clearly outline acquisition pathways that bring capabilities to the field at the speed of need.

Steering Offshore Energy Innovation into the Future emphasizes the pivotal role oil and gas, along with other emerging offshore energy sources, will play in shaping a sustainable and energy-secure future. As the global demand for cleaner, more efficient energy solutions grows, offshore energy solutions are at the forefront of this evolution. Offshore oil and gas exploration continues to provide a critical foundation, fueling economies and powering industries worldwide.

Simultaneously, innovations in offshore wind, tidal, and wave energy are gaining momentum, transforming how we harness renewable resources from the ocean. By integrating cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, the offshore energy sector is not only advancing traditional energy sources but also accelerating the development of alternative solutions. Together, these efforts are steering the future of offshore energy—leading the charge towards a balanced, sustainable energy mix that will power generations to come.
