The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is hosting the 2025 Small Business Conference aimed at assisting small business contractors in engaging with the agency and understanding opportunities to support its mission. The conference, originally scheduled for October 21-22, 2025, has been postponed due to the federal government shutdown and is now set to take place on February 10-11, 2026, at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This event is crucial for small businesses as it facilitates networking with MDA Prime Contractors and Government Representatives, thereby enhancing the industrial base that supports missile defense systems.
