Industry Meetup

The Defense Acquisition University plans to hold an industry forum on May 1 to talk about "affordability, efficiency, and the industrial base," according to a notice posted this morning on the Federal Register. The notice further states:

After a variety of presenters, the session will conclude with Mr. Frank Kendall, Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, leading a panel to discuss how we will achieve affordable, efficient programs in this time of fiscal austerity, while maintaining a healthy industrial base. Following the plenary session, each company will have the opportunity to sign up for an individual, non-attribution, 20-minute session with a DAU faculty member. DAU plans to incorporate feedback into changes to the Business Acumen curriculum.
