May conference to focus on the critical role of public-private partnerships to support U.S. national security in the Indo-Pacific Region

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 2, 2025 — The International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) is set to host its third annual Indo-Pacific Conference on May 15-16, 2025, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Conference will focus on the important role of private industry in providing support and solving challenging problems to bolster U.S. defenses and prevent conflict in the Indo-Pacific Region.

This year’s Indo-Pacific Conference will feature expert panels and keynote speakers addressing timely topics such as innovative logistics solutions, infrastructure required to support U.S. priorities, specific contract vehicles already in place, and humanitarian assistance and disaster recovery (HA/DR) in the region. Additionally, networking sessions will allow attendees to connect one-on-one with both industry and government representatives.

“As the United States focuses its attention on operational challenges in the large Indo-Pacific Region, the ingenuity and efficiency of private industry will play a critical role in helping solve these incredibly complex issues,” said ISOA President and Executive Director Howard R. Lind. “This conference provides the opportunity for interested companies to receive the latest updates on U.S. priorities and upcoming contract opportunities in the region.”

Registration for the 2025 ISOA Indo-Pacific Conference is available on the ISOA website until May 15. ISOA members and non-members are encouraged to attend. Looking ahead, ISOA’s next major conference, Stability and Security in the Americas, will be held in Miami on June 16-17 and will highlight government contract opportunities implementing U.S. border and immigration policies along with other partnership opportunities in Latin and South America. On September 16-18, ISOA’s conference in Bucharest, Romania, will focus on defense contracting to support Ukraine, NATO, and Europe. Other upcoming ISOA events include webinars, networking receptions, advocacy meetings with congressional representatives, and small business forums. A listing of events can be found on ISOA’s website, stability-operations.org.
