Aerospace and Defence Supplier Summit (ADSS) is one of the largest aerospace and defence sector supply chain conferences in the United States (U.S.). Focussed on business-to-business (B2B) connections, the ADSS is held every two years in Seattle, Washington. This is the backyard of the U.S.’s largest aerospace and defence supply chain cluster, with over 1,350 firms, including several world leaders. The conference is expected to host more than 700 participating companies and over 1,200 attendees.
The ADSS conference is made up of pre-arranged, one-on-one meetings with stakeholders of your choice. In addition to your own space, an eye-catching Canada booth will provide a second marketing space for Canadian companies. The booth also offersa conveniently located meeting space for attendees.
