2022 AFRL Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI)

Please join us for the 16th Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI) August 8-10 at the Dayton Convention Center, Dayton, Ohio. We are excited to announce that in 2022, Air Force Research Lab's (AFRL) Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI) and Life Cycle Management Center's (LCMC) Life Cycle Industry Days (LCID) will take place within the same week (8-12 August). Both events will be co-hosted with Dayton Defense and both events will be hosted at the Dayton Convention Center. WDI and LCID will remain standalone events; we are combining the events in one week as to gain efficiencies in the sharing of information, collaboration and discussion. WDI offers three days of in-depth unclassified and classified comprehensive presentations, panels, one-on-one technical sessions, and leadership meet-and-greet exchanges focused on Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Science and Technology. Technical portfolios and contracting opportunities for each of Technical Directorates and supporting organizations will be presented by the Directors and their technical SMEs. This is not an "Approved for Public Distribution" event; topics will be discussed in detail at the Distribution-C (Government and Government Contractor Only) and classified information levels, with vetted participants. Historically, nearly 600 government, industry, and academia attendees have participated. WDI 2021 saw participation from 36 states and every AFRL Technical Directorate. This proven, successful format will continue where two-way dialogue between attendees and presenters is fostered through focused technical, opportunity, and educational tracks and sessions. The event will feature: · Keynote addresses from AFMC and AFRL Senior Leadership · DAF S&T budget information · DAF Science and Technology priorities · Government and contractor exhibits · Two-way dialogue sessions with each of the AFRL Directorates · Private one-on-one meetings with AFRL Directorate Leaders and SMEs, by request · Private meet-and-greet appointments with AFRL Senior Leadership, by request · Distribution Limited Unclassified and Classified discussions.
