ComDef returns to Washington, DC to provide insight, discussions and networking for government, military, academia and industry with an industrial base emphasis. ComDef will address the following questions: How will the US Defense Budget shape the industrial base; What are the implications for each Service? Will there be another round of mergers and acquisitions? Who will take the lead? If commercial technology R&D now outspends defense R&D, how will defense procurement barriers to entry be addressed? Will export control reform help or hinder the industrial base? What/who are the key industry partners and personalities? Moderator: Robert Levinson – Senior Defense Analyst, Bloomberg Government Panelists: John Stack – Managing Director, The McLean Group Frank Finelli – Managing Director, The Carlyle Byron Callan – Director, Capital Alpha Partners Grant Rogen – Founder, Blenheim Capital Partners Registration
