Helander is thrilled to announce that we’ll be attending this year’s [American Aerospace & Defense Summit](https://aadsummit.com/), held December 5­-6 at the We-Ko-Pa Resort & Conference Center in Scottsdale/Fountain Hills, Ariz.

![american aerospace and defense summit helander](https://blog.helandermetal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2017-American-Aerospace-Summit-1.jpg?width=416&name=2017-American-Aerospace-Summit-1.jpg "american aerospace and defense summit helander")This exciting yearly event brings together more than 150 industry leaders from top companies such as Boeing, General Dynamics, GE, and [Lockheed Martin](https://www.lockheedmartin.com/us/what-we-do/aerospace-defense.html), as well as the U.S. Department of Defense. Centered on discussion of important industry issues — such as strategies for optimizing manufacturing and R&D in American [aerospace](https://www.helandermetal.com/aerospace-welding) and [defense](https://www.helandermetal.com/aerospace-defense-industry) — the conference aims to connect industry leaders and facilitate the sharing of ideas, innovations, and trends. 

Various panels will also be held on a range of subjects, with useful tips on how to innovate among steep competition, enhance relationships with suppliers, reduce overall costs, and find valuable growth opportunities. 

Summit participants will have the opportunity to hear [case studies](https://www.helandermetal.com/portfolios/) firsthand, giving attendees valuable insight on how to address common industry challenges and create solid strategies for attracting and retaining talent. Talks will also outline how to create and implement successful offset strategies in order to stay competitive in today’s constantly shifting landscape. This year’s event will focus on several key themes, including:

- Manufacturing and supply chain
- Workforce managment
- Supplier oversight and cost optimization
- Product innovation

The team at Helander will be exhibiting at the conference, and we’re also proud to be sponsoring this event’s year.
