Become a Sponsor

Where defense priorities meet industry innovation—up close and mission-focused. 

The AUVSI Defense forum is where defense priorities are clarified, acquisition pathways are discussed and capture strategies take shape. . Sponsoring AUVSI Defense isn’t just about brand visibility—it’s about positioning your company inside the decision cycle that determines how trusted autonomy is scaled, funded and fielded.

Whether you’re a prime contractor, a component manufacturer, or an emerging autonomy innovator, sponsorship provides the opportunity to: 

• Engage directly with defense acquisition leaders, program managers, and contracting officials shaping near-term opportunities  
• Showcase your solutions in a closed, mission-focused forum designed for rapid procurement and industrial base expansion  
• Gain early insight into capture drivers – capability gaps, trusted tech criteria, and evolving buying frameworks  
• Position your brand as a trusted partner in building the America First arsenal for autonomy and strengthening the defense industrial base.  

With multiple sponsorship tiers and targeted add-ons, AUVSI Defense offers a high-impact opportunity to engage directly with defense stakeholders in a focused, mission-aligned setting. As a strategic complement to the scale and cross-sector reach of XPONENTIAL, this event zeroes in on the challenges, partnerships, and technologies shaping the future of trusted autonomy.  

It’s where industry and government come together to advance readiness, build the industrial base and accelerate autonomy into the hands of the warfighter.
