The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has announced a Special Notice for its Small Business Conference, scheduled for September 16-17, 2026, along with a Next-generation Air & Missile Defense Industry Day on September 18, 2026.
According to the notice, the Small Business Conference is intended to provide information to small businesses interested in supporting the agency’s mission. The agenda includes updates on doing business with MDA, networking opportunities, and matchmaking sessions with MDA representatives and prime contractors.
The notice also announces the addition of the Next-generation Air & Missile Defense Industry Day, which will be conducted as a classified session. Attendance for that portion of the event requires advance approval, and the notice includes instructions for companies seeking authorization to participate.
MDA also notes that registrations submitted before the conference was postponed earlier this year remain valid unless they were canceled.
Companies interested in attending can review the full notice for registration information, the conference agenda, and the requirements for participation in the classified session.
