WEBINAR: What's Really Driving A&D Contracting in 2026

June 2nd, 2026
2:00 pm EDT / 11:00 am PDT

Government contractors entered 2026 expecting growth - but execution pressure is rising across pricing, supply chain, workforce, and manufacturing operations. Based on 2026 Deltek Clarity findings from 900+ firms, this session examines what is actually driving performance across the A&D market today.

From pricing defensibility and audit readiness to supply chain volatility, workforce constraints, manufacturing traceability, and AI adoption, the data reveals a widening gap between organizations scaling with control and those losing ground. Attendees will gain a clear view of where the industry stands and how leading contractors are adapting to compete in a high-scrutiny environment.

Attend this webinar and learn:

• Understand the policy and operational forces reshaping A&D contracting in 2026
• Identify where execution is breaking down — across pricing, supply chain, workforce, and manufacturing
• Benchmark your organization against 900+ contractors to assess where you stand
• Discover where AI is delivering real value — and where governance gaps create risk
• Learn what top-performing A&D contractors are doing differently to compete
