2025 GovCon International Summit | Potomac Officers Club
RegisterWHAT
Potomac Officers Club is proud to present the second installment of its groundbreaking GovCon International Summit, where the future of global collaboration and defense takes center stage. In a world marked by heightened competition and complexity, the need for strategic power projection, unity and technological innovation has never been more urgent. Against this backdrop, the Department of Defense is working to strengthen its partnerships with the defense industrial base and allies around the world.
For the second year in a row, we’ll be uniting visionary leaders from government and industry, alongside key figures from the DOD and U.S. combatant commands to explore how international partnerships, coalition warfare and cutting-edge technologies are transforming the defense arena and ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront.
Discussion topics could include:
- Export control and ITAR compliance
- Impacts of tariffs
- Geopolitical risk and sanctions exposure
- Foreign military sales delays and bureaucracy
- Intellectual property protection
- Supply chain and sourcing restrictions
- Political and regulatory instability abroad
