Defense Innovation Days, hosted by Senedia, is always a fantastic opportunity for industry leaders, businesses and stakeholders to collaborate, share advice, and communicate the current goals and challenges in defense tech. The 10th Annual conference was no different; with many UTIC members joining the discussion on the challenges and opportunities presented by our modern defense landscape. Our members continue to work with Navy leadership to deliver cutting-edge solutions to the Navy's most pressing challenges.

And that's a wrap on three days of collaboration, discussion and networking at the 10th Annual Defense Innovation Days! Thanks to SENEDIA for another great conference.
