Logistics Officer Association Symposium - Innovator Series

Logistics Officer Association (LOA) is excited to launch a new four-part event series: the W.I.S.E. Symposium. W.I.S.E. stands for Warfighter, Innovator, Sustainer, Educator—the four pillars that shape the future of logistics.

Each event focuses on one of these areas and is accessible to everyone, with a virtual option and regional events held on the West Coast, Midwest, and East Coast.

This new format allows LOA to deliver meaningful programming, reach a broader audience, and maintain momentum across the logistics community.

We are excited to host Senior Leaders across the Logistics Enterprise representing: Office of the Secretary of Defense, Headquarters Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Global Strike Command, Air Combat Command, Air Mobility Command, Air Education and Training Command, U.S. Air Forces in Europe, Air Force Reserve Command, Defense Logistics Agency, and many more.

LOGNATION will be out in force! Military, Civilian, and Industry reps from flightlines and back shops to strategists and Senior Leaders—all focused on advancing our profession.

The Logistics Officer Association (LOA) Symposium - Innovator Series enables interactive exchanges among logistics, acquisition, and technology professionals from across the Department of Defense, defense industry, and academia. With a continued focus on Warfighter, Innovation, Sustainment, and Education (W.I.S.E), the 2026 LOA Symposium - Innovator Series will offer a forum where logisticians at all levels of leadership can collaborate to discuss challenges of operating in a dynamic global defense environment and brainstorm solutions to overcome them. The theme of this Education Series – “War is the mother of innovation” - A.J.P. Taylor.
