The Aviation Week Network's Military Aviation Maintenance, Logistics, and Sustainability (MALMS) event is set to take place from April 8-10, 2025, in Atlanta, GA. Despite recent budget adjustments leading to reduced participation from military speakers and attendees, MALMS remains a crucial forum for the aviation industry. This year's event will focus on understanding the implications of these changes and exploring the future of Military Aviation Maintenance and Repair Operations (MRO).

Key areas of focus include analyzing the impact of recent budget cuts on military aviation MRO, exploring innovative solutions to maintain operational readiness, adapting to address multiple threats, leveraging AI to revolutionize material readiness, and optimizing supply chain solutions for the warfighter. The conference will also forecast trends and opportunities in military aviation logistics.

Industry collaboration sessions will facilitate discussions on how the industry can work together to address new challenges. Experts will share insights on adapting to the evolving military aviation landscape and discussing strategies for maintaining operational flexibility and system reliability. An innovation showcase will highlight commercially mature technologies that can accelerate Department of Defense (DoD) logistics and sustainment modernization.

Networking opportunities such as table talks and a lunch session will foster collaboration and idea exchange. The MALMS Evening Reception will provide a refined setting for industry professionals to connect with one another.

In 2024, MALMS attracted 380 industry delegates, 105 military/DOD VIPs, 45 speakers, and 50+ military pavilion exhibitors. This year's event is co-located with MRO Americas at the Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) in Atlanta. It offers an unparalleled opportunity for the military to network with the commercial aviation industry to develop partnerships, mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities, and strengthen the organic industrial base.

Join us as we adapt, innovate, and collaborate to ensure the continued success and readiness of military aviation in the face of new challenges.
