NDIA Cross Division Collaboration Initiative

POSTPONED

The NDIA Cross-Division Collaboration Event brings together government leaders, industry partners, and NDIA division leadership to align on a shared imperative: accelerating the delivery of operational capability at speed and scale. A key focus of the event is capturing insights from both Government and Industry stakeholders to inform NDIA’s 2026 priorities, identify opportunities for cross-division collaboration, and shape future events, guidance, and initiatives that align with the need to accelerate delivery as defined in the Department of War Acquisition Transformation Strategy.

The session will conclude with a collaborative workshop, where NDIA Division leaders and participants will synthesize panel insights into a cross-division roadmap, highlighting near-term collaboration opportunities and longer-term areas where NDIA can help enable faster, more integrated delivery.
