NAITA Security Assistance/FMS Summit (formerly NAITA FMS Industry Day) | August 25-26, 2026 [8/25/2026-8/26/2026]
The Alabama International Trade Center invites you to attend the NAITA Security Assistance/FMS Summit :
Security Assistance Reforms for Global Readiness & Acceleration at the Speed of Relevance
The 18th Annual NAITA Security Assistance / FMS Summit returns with a sharper, more action-driven focus. As the U.S. Department of War (DoW) drives major reforms, this year’s Summit delivers two concentrated days of high-value insights from senior U.S. and foreign leaders across the services. Attendees will hear updates and clear practical guidance on how government and industry can accelerate capability production, delivery, and sustainment at the speed of relevance, and where industry opportunities exist.
Allies across the globe are accelerating defense spending and seeking U.S. capabilities at unprecedented levels — creating significant growth opportunities for industry. Demand is surging due to ongoing conflicts and challenges, including historic defense budget increases throughout Europe and the Far East. The DoW has made it clear: speed is not an option – it is a strategic requirement. In an era of increasing global competition and rapidly evolving threats, the ability to deliver military capability to allies and partners quickly – and sustain it effectively – has become a critical element of deterrence and coalition readiness.
The 18th Annual NAITA Security Assistance / FMS Summit brings together government and industry leaders to connect and explore how the Security Assistance Enterprise can meet these challenges. Convening August 25–26, 2026, in Huntsville, Alabama, at the Von Braun Center, this year’s event goes straight to the core issues. If you want to understand the future of Security Assistance and the impacts of reform to industry — you need to be in the room. This is your opportunity to interact directly with senior U.S. and foreign officials executing Security Assistance in the era of reform. The Summit will address three fundamental points:
- How are organizations affected by reform?
- What barriers limit speed and responsiveness, and where are the opportunities?
- How can government and industry partner to move faster to meet global demands?
The future of Security Assistance will be defined not only by what capabilities can be provided, but by how quickly they can be delivered, integrated, sustained, and employed by allies and partners.
Register today! The NAITA Security Assistance / FMS Summit provides participants with a unique forum for government, industry, and international stakeholders to identify actions required to achieve that objective and strengthen global readiness through partnership.
