The Nuclear Deterrence Summit, now in its ninth year, will offer decision makers and industry influencers from both the public and private sectors the opportunity to discuss the impact that President-elect Donald Trump will have on the global and domestic nuclear industry.

The Summit will once again bring these leaders together for the most timely discussions on the United States’ role in arms control and nonproliferation, potential changes to U.S. nuclear posture under a new president, and the dynamic nature of this country’s relationship with international allies and adversaries.
Over the course of three days, more than 350 NNSA representatives, industry executives, government officials, site and lab managers nationwide, and more will listen in on and participate in discussions during panel sessions, point-counterpoint debates, keynote presentations, and roundtables including:
