News from ADC | On Base

ADC recently opened registration for the upcoming Installation Energy & Water Forum, bringing together defense leaders and industry partners to discuss the future of public-private collaboration. 

“Energy and water are the backbone of installation readiness—powering operations, supporting families, and enabling the mission,” ADC says on its website. “As AI, autonomy, and advanced communications redefine defense, the systems that sustain installations must be trusted, resilient, and always on.” 

The event takes place Jan. 29 in Arlington, VA. You can register here.
