Key Insights from the Space & Missile Defense Symposium

August 22, 2025

The Space & Missile Defense Symposium brought together defense industry leaders, contractors, and technology innovators for three days of strategic discussions and partnership opportunities. PCI was proud to participate in this premier event for a second year in a row, connecting with government contracting professionals who share our commitment to operational excellence and mission success.

As a trusted partner to government contracting firms nationwide, we found the symposium to be an invaluable platform for understanding the evolving challenges facing defense contractors and exploring how integrated solutions can address their most pressing operational needs.

Networking and Community Engagement

The networking opportunities at the Space & Missile Defense Symposium exceeded our expectations. Throughout the event, we connected with finance directors, IT managers, and C-level executives from defense contracting firms of all sizes. These conversations revealed common themes: the need for enhanced data visibility, streamlined compliance processes, and cost-effective operational solutions.

Our t-shirt giveaway proved to be more than just a crowd-pleaser—it became a conversation starter that opened doors to meaningful discussions about operational challenges. Defense contractors stopped by our booth to share their experiences with outgrowing current systems, managing complex project reporting requirements, and navigating increasingly stringent compliance standards. These interactions reinforced our understanding that government contractors need partners who can transform operational headaches into peace of mind.
