Gabelli Funds will host its 31st Annual Aerospace & Defense Symposium on Thursday, September 4, 2025, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The Symposium is hosted by Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF portfolio manager, Lt. Col. Tony Bancroft. Learn more about GCAD.
This year’s event will examine key developments in the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry, including technological innovation, enduring demand drivers, and the impact of evolving geopolitical tensions.
The A&D sector is at a pivotal inflection point, with NATO recently increasing defense spending targets to 5% at the June 5, 2025, meeting. Governments worldwide are expected to allocate substantial resources toward infrastructure and national security in both the near and long term.
The symposium will feature a dynamic agenda of company presentations, fireside chats, and Q&A sessions. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly during Q&A segments and may be eligible for one-on-one meetings with company leadership.
