We are excited to announce that once again in 2026, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's (AFLCMC) Life Cycle Industry Days (LCID) and Air Force Research Lab’s (AFRL) Wright Dialogue with Industry (WDI) will take place within the same week. Both events will be co-hosted with DaytonDefense and hosted at the Dayton Convention Center. LCID and WDI will remain standalone events; the events are aligned in one week as to gain efficiencies in the sharing of information, collaboration and discussion.

The Air Force is dedicated to strengthening its collaboration with industry. Our partnerships are crucial, as they open the door to joint ventures and innovation opportunities that harness the strengths of both sectors and focus our way and address emerging threats. Streamlining acquisition and enhancing sustainment capabilities are key priorities along with ensuring industry partners find it easier to work with the Air Force. These efforts collectively contribute to a robust, modernized force ready to meet the challenges of the future. 

Hope to see you there!

This is your prime opportunity to engage directly with Air Force leaders, industry innovators, and fellow Airmen. LCID is where partnerships are forged and the future of the enterprise is shaped. You'll gain exclusive insights from senior leaders and experience the next generation of aerospace technology at our dynamic industry expo

Join us for two days of in-depth unclassified sessions followed by a day dedicated to classified content, featuring comprehensive presentations, expert panels, one-on-one technical discussions, and leadership meet-and-greet opportunities—all centered on the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) science and technology portfolio. Discover technical expertise, explore contracting opportunities, and engage directly with AFRL subject matter experts
