22nd Annual Acquisition Research Symposium


Date: May 7, 2025 to May 8, 2025
Time: 0800-1700
Location: Embassy Suites, Monterey

This symposium serves as a forum for the presentation of acquisition research and the exchange of ideas among scholars and practitioners of public sector acquisition.

  • We seek a diverse audience of influential attendees from academe, government, think tanks and industry who are well placed to shape and promote future research in defense acquisition. 

This year, the symposium is combined with an Innovation Summit under the overarching theme of "Transitioning Technology."

  • The goal of this dual event is to explore and promote innovative ways to transition technology from research and development to programs of record to support the warfighter.

The Innovation Summit will take place on Thursday afternoon, featuring panels designed to enhance understanding of current, past, and future innovation efforts across the defense innovation ecosystem.

  • These panels will be composed of a curated selection of symposium research proposals and stakeholders from across academia, industry and government, bringing together diverse perspectives and areas of expertise.
