General Atomics 2024 Supplier Day

General Atomics (GA) proudly hosted over 550 participants for its 7th Biennial Supplier Day on Thursday, November 12, 2024, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST. The virtual event was hosted by GA Contracts, Procurement and Proposals Management, supported by Quality Assurance. Supplier Day offers a unique and exciting opportunity to network with our Suppliers and share the exciting developments at GA that Suppliers have been and could be a part of.

This inspiring and informational event was the culmination of GA's 2024 Supplier Engagement efforts; it celebrated "The Freedom to Explore", and the role suppliers play in enabling GA's vision and ability to reach new limits. The day's agenda was carefully crafted to provide attendees with valuable insights into the company's goals, emerging technologies, and future plans. Suppliers engaged in live breakout sessions covering nine key topics. These sessions offered in-depth discussions and interactive Q&A opportunities.

In addition to the breakout sessions, Supplier Day 2024 featured a leadership panel discussion and informative guest speaker presentations. The Supplier Day planning team wishes to thank the distinguished Supplier Day Guest Speakers: Mr. Neal Blue, GA Chairman and CEO; Mr. Scott Forney, President of GA Electromagnetics (GA-EMS); Mrs. Zabrina Johal, Senior Director of GA Energy Strategic Development; Mr. Mike Rucker, Head of GA-EMS Weapons; Dr. Kenneth Khumthong, Senior Manager of GA Energy Group Engineering.

Adding to Supplier Day's impact were special video segments that showcased GA's commitment to innovation, with highlights on new technologies and our rich history. The videos underscored how GA and our partners are advancing solutions that empower greater freedom of exploration in all five sectors.
