The annual US-Australia Defence Industry Dialogue returns to Washington D.C. October 14-15, 2026.
The event will be held in the margins of AUSA 2026, as the next iteration of the long-running defence industry partnership between Team Defence Australia and the American Australian Association. For 2026, the event broadens beyond AUKUS to showcase the full depth of the Australia–United States defence industrial relationship: land systems, Army capability, AI, hypersonics, capital, rapid commercialization, and Australian companies entering the U.S. market.
The program will feature keynote addresses by senior US and Australian government officials, expert panel discussions, a networking lunch, and a welcome reception all hosted at the Embassy of Australia. The event attracts attendees from defence industry and Fortune 500 companies, policy makers, academics, investors, economists and national security experts.
