Annual defense sector event March 10-12, 2025 will preview business and partnership opportunities with Hanscom Air Force Base, Natick DEVCOM, Higher Education, and more
The Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association’s Lexington-Concord Chapter has released new details and launched registration for the 49th annual New Horizons. New Horizons is New England’s leading defense sector event featuring keynotes, panels, and networking with senior Department of Defense leaders, industry, academia, and nonprofits focused on continued partnerships and support to the nation’s defense industrial base. Scheduled for March 10-12th at the Boston-Newton Marriott, this year’s theme is “Pioneering the Next Generation of Leadership & Excellence for Information & Air Dominance.”
As the Air Force continues its reorganization and alignment to the Strategic Competition initiative, this year’s theme of New Horizons will focus on how research, development, production, sustainment, and partnerships can best support Information and Air Dominance. The Air Force has recently established multiple new critical centers focused in these areas which are driving investments and focus by Hanscom Air Force Base and others. The Information Dominance Systems Center, Air Dominance Systems Center, and Nuclear Systems Center will work to ensure continued supremacy in their respective domains while better posturing the services to deter and, if necessary, prevail in an era of Strategic Competition. New Horizons panels and speakers plan to highlight missions and business opportunities to ensure the service remains ahead of global competitors. Speakers will present on business opportunities, emerging technologies, and analysis on the state of the Department of Defense in alignment with the Strategic Competion’s focus on Developing People, Generating Readiness, Projecting Power and Developing Capabilities.
