“The Benefits of Augmented Reality for A&D”

National Online Forum webinar on 8-9:00am Pacific Time, Wednesday, September 21, 2022

The majority of the workforce today consists of frontline workers. In an industrial setting, this refers to the hardworking people in factories and service shops who, despite advancements in technology, remain at the core of operations and production. It is important to equip these individuals with the right digital tools to work efficiently and safely. A technology that is quickly gaining adoption in the A&D space for service and manufacturing is Augmented Reality (AR), a digital overly that displays information in a physical environment.

Please join us at 8:00-9:00am Pacific Time on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, when Hamed Yazdi, Sales Director, Sconce, a PDS Vision Company, will cover several industrial use cases of AR and the benefits that can be realized with this technology.

National Online Forum webinar on 8-9:00am Pacific Time, Wednesday, February 16, 2022

“The Supply Chain Risk Conundrum: Rethinking the Network and Its Risks”

National Online Forum webinar on 8-9:00am Pacific Time, Wednesday, January 26, 2022

Current information security and risk mitigation approaches are ineffective, and this failure is nowhere more apparent than in critical supply chains – defense, energy, health services, and other key industries. The source of much of the persistent failure to secure supply chains and the concomitant success of hackers compromising these vital arteries of commerce is that most organizations do not recognize the components and connections that comprise their information networks and do a poor job identifying and evaluating risks.

Please join us at 8:00-9:00am Pacific Time on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, when Michael Gold, Partner and Chair of the Cybersecurity & Privacy Group, Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell LLP, will address 5 critical gaps in supply chain cybersecurity and the measures necessary to effectively address these gaps:

The A&D Forum’s Second Annual Holiday Networking Event

National Online Forum event on Thursday, December 16, 2021, 4:00PM – 5:30PM Pacific

The year 2021 has continued the challenges of 2020 for A&D. The 737Max grounding and COVID-19 pandemic have created disruptions within the A&D industry unlike any other year. Many have experienced hardships and unexpected transitions. At the same time there have been positive events within private industry. For example, the start of America’s commercial human launch capability to space.

During this past year, the A&D Forum has experienced its own challenges. We continued the focus on events based on Zoom. We lost the pre- and post-meeting networking time that we all appreciate. That networking has been a foundational element of the A&D Forum since its inception. In an attempt to re-establish the in-person networking experience we are hosting the A&D Forum’s Second Annual Holiday Networking Event.

No speaker, just networking in small groups. And to keep it interesting, we’ll do multiple group sessions with Zoom mixing up the groups randomly. Obviously, we still can’t meet in person and no one really knows when we’ll be able to do so, but by using Zoom breakout rooms we can recapture the ability to connect with our colleagues.

Each small group session will last around 20 minutes and contain about 5 people. We would also like the discussion to be something that lifts people’s spirits since this has been such a challenging year. Each of the three sessions will suggest discussion around one of the following questions:
• What new trends, challenges and/or opportunities do you see for your business in 2022?
• What lessons did you learn from navigating almost two years of pandemic?
• If you could have dinner with three people (living or dead), who would they be and why?

PLEASE NOTE: this will be an afternoon event, 4:00PM – 5:30PM Pacific, so feel free to bring your favorite “adult beverage” if you so desire, but no smoking please.

This event is open to both members and non-members, no recording, no cost to non-members and we’ll share your contact information if you allow us to do so.

The meeting is free for all Register at https://adfnofdec21HolidayEvent.eventbrite.com/.

We’re look forward to seeing you on December 16!
