NPS 22nd Annual Acquisition Research Symposium and Innovation Summit is
May 7-8, 2025, in Monterey, California

Panelists lead a discussion on the defense industrial base at the 21st Annual Acquisition Research Symposium

The NPS 21^st Annual Acquisition Research Symposium, held last month, was a tremendous success! It was proudly hosted by the Acquisition Research Program (ARP), Department of Defense Management (DDM), and the Naval Warfare Studies Institute (NWSI) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, CA.

• We’re grateful for the hundreds of attendees who made this gathering such a vital and collegial conversation on the state of defense acquisition.

The team here at NPS is already hard at work planning next year’s symposium and innovation summit, to be held May 7-8, 2025.

• Mark your calendar now and plan to join us in lovely Monterey, California for the 22^nd Annual Acquisition Research Symposium and Innovation Summit!

The call for papers will be announced in early September.

• It’s not too early to start planning your next research project.

In the meantime, you can peruse our collection of resources from this year’s event:

• Papers, Presentations, and Proceedings (compiled on the symposium website)
