Systecon North America is bringing together the brightest minds in sustainment and data science for a first-of-its-kind summit.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Systecon North America will host the 2025 Predictive Analytics Summit on Wednesday, September 10. The one-day, high-impact forum will be held at The REACH at the Kennedy Center in Washington, uniting defense logisticians, government leaders, and analytics experts to explore the next frontier of military readiness and sustainment.

Through keynotes, technical deep-dives, and panel discussions, the summit will showcase how predictive analytics and AI can transform data into decision superiority across the lifecycle of defense systems.

The event will open with a keynote by Major General David Sanford, Director of Logistics Operations, J3 & Commander, Joint Regional Combat Support at the Defense Logistics Agency, setting the tone for a future-ready sustainment strategy.

Agenda highlights include:
