Put Your Solutions at the Center of Defense Decision-Making
2026 Sponsors
Sponsoring AUVSI Defense places your organization at the center of the conversations shaping the future of robotics and autonomous systems in defense.
This is not broad exposure. It is targeted access to the decision-makers building, buying, funding, and fielding autonomous systems for the joint force and allied partners.
Your presence signals alignment with the priorities that matter—trusted systems, resilient supply chains, and mission-ready capabilities delivered at speed and scale. More importantly, it positions your team inside a high-trust environment where direct engagement drives real outcomes.
Through sponsorship, you are not just seen—you are engaged. In a closed, Chatham House setting designed for candid dialogue, sponsors are part of the working conversation around acquisition pathways, operational needs, and what gets fielded next.
If your goal is to influence requirements, shape capture strategy, and position your solutions where decisions are being made, this is where that happens.
