In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, the National
Nanotechnology Initiative at Ten: Nanotechnology Innovation Summit was held December 8-10,
2010, at the Gaylord National Convention Center just outside Washington D.C. The NNI
consists of the cooperative nanotech-related activities of 25 Federal agencies focused on
producing revolutionary and transformative technological breakthroughs. The NNI
Nanotechnology Innovation Summit brought together the nation's leadership in nanotechnology
research, development, implementation, policy and finance along with a showcase of the top
nanotechnology technologies generated through the NNI support.

The Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) is the nation's largest forum for scientists,
technologists, engineers, managers, leaders and policy makers in the defense manufacturing
industrial base. The meeting is the product of a partnership of the Military Departments and
Agencies of the Department of Defense. An unprecedented 100% of those who provided
solicited feedback from last year's event said they would not hesitate to attend once again and
recommended their colleagues do so as well.
The 2010 DMC is hosted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Missile Defense
Agency and will address the conference theme of removing the barriers to ³ACHIEVING AN
INNOVATIVE, RESPONSIVE AND SUSTAINABLE NATIONAL SECURITY INDUSTRIAL
BASE.´ All of the military departments, defense agencies, many non-defense agencies, industry
and academia will participate in this seminal national event; for both defense and non-defense
related manufacturing technology development and application.
