AFA 2024 — The end of major conferences always sneaks up quickly. One hour, everyone is hustling about, and the next, the halls are suddenly quiet, with the sounds of booths being dismantled and coffee machines packed away.

So it went with the third day of the annual Air and Space Forces Association conference, which wrapped up today. In the above video, Breaking Defense Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and Managing Editor Lee Ferran walk through the topline trends and takeaways from the conference.

Even though the show is over, we’ll have more stories coming throughout the week. As always, you can find our stories from the conference here and a collection of photos and videos from the show here.
