DAU will host its virtual annual Acquisition Update on Feb. 23-24, 2022. Our theme “Embracing the Digital Environment” is timely for this year’s Update as major changes have been enacted within the Department of Defense. Attendees will hear from senior government and industry leaders on such topics as reimagining how we develop our workforce, changing the way DoD does business, system security engineering, essential modernization activities and implications, cybersecurity resilience, Workforce Development initiatives, sustainment planning in technology development, increasing industrial competitiveness, software acquisition, and more. The DAU President is scheduled to kick off the event, followed by a keynote address by the Principal Military Deputy to the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology. The second day will begin with an address by the Joint Program Executive Officer for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense followed by a keynote address by the Director of Hypersonics, Directed Energy, Space and Rapid Acquisition. Throughout both days there will be numerous panels and presentations which address topics central to the success of Defense Acquisition.

Attendees will be eligible to earn Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) for participation (1 CLP per session hour attended). The post event survey must be completed to receive a participation certificate with those CLPs. Survey information and link will be provided closer to the event.

Recordings, slides, and Q&A results will be posted on the DAU event page, post event, as they become available.
