Installation Innovation X

When it comes to solving a wide range of challenges facing our military, we know installation-community partnerships work. Ten years ago, ADC launched the Installation Innovation Forum (IIF) to create a place where leaders from all services, communities and across the defense industry could share new ways of thinking about how our bases operate. There is no other event like it, and this year will be our biggest IIF yet.

MEET AMERICA’S
DEFENSE COMMUNITIES

Behind every mission, base and family there is a community that provides a home to our military. From small towns to cities, regions and entire states – defense communities take different forms, but their role is the same – providing a foundation for our national security and a home for our military families.

Representing every major defense community and state in the country, The Association of Defense Communities (ADC) is a 300+ member organization dedicated to advancing issues that build strong communities and strengthen the ability for service members to defend our nation.
