We’re heading to Huntsville, Alabama for the Space and Missile Defense (SMD) Symposium on August 11–13, 2026 at the Von Braun Center.
If you’re attending, we’d love to connect while we're on the floor.
Why We're There
For us, events like the SMD Symposium are all about staying grounded in the GovCon community. We're showing up to listen—to hear the real stories, emerging opportunities, and daily pain points from the companies on the frontlines of defense innovation.

Every contractor’s growth story looks a little different, but the operational hurdles – like outgrowing basic accounting software, navigating compliance shifts, or figuring out how to scale without exploding overhead – are things we all wrestle with.
We’re coming to Huntsville to compare notes, share what’s working for the growing contractors we support, and offer practical insights that can help defense businesses thrive. Whether you’re looking for a sounding board on a specific back-office bottleneck or just want to swap ideas on
where the defense market is heading,
we're always up for a good conversation.
Let's Connect in Huntsville
Our team members Amber Fewell and Marpleh Baker will be representing CRI on the floor. If you'd like to carve out 15 minutes to grab a coffee, talk shop, or swap ideas on managing back-office growth, reach out ahead of time to get something on the calendar.
