WHAT IS INDUSTRY WEEK?
The Premier Gathering for America's Industrial & Strategic Industries
CPA Industry Week is an invitation-only gathering bringing together senior congressional staff from the U.S. House and Senate, domestic producers, industry leaders, hedge funds, investment banks, and policymakers focused on rebuilding America's industrial base.
Over the course of the week, CPA will host two focused summits on the critical sectors shaping America's economic and national security future: energy and healthcare.
TWO TRACKS, ONE CONVERSATION
CPA Industry Week runs two concurrent summits joined by a cross-sector plenary on Tuesday. Attendees may register for a single track or for the full week.
Industrial Power Summit
October 18 - 20
ENERGY | HYPERSCALERS | STRATEGIC METALS & MINERALS
American compute is colliding with the American grid. Domestic copper, electrical, and aluminum capacity will determine whether the buildout happens here or abroad. This track convenes the utilities, hyperscalers, metals producers, and policy makers building the answers.
PROGRAM THEMES:
Baseload, nuclear, and natural gas |
Hyperscale demand and grid capacity |
Domestic copper smelting and refining |
Wiring, transformers, and cable |
Aluminum extrusion and conduit |
Section 232 and tariff stacking |

Medicines Security Summit
October 20 - 22
PHARMA | BIOTECH | API
From fermentation to fill-finish. The supply chain for essential medicines is a national security problem, and the United States is finally treating it as one. This track convenes the manufacturers, agency leadership, and capital that will decide whether the rebuild happens.
PROGRAM THEMES:
Generic and essential medicine security |
Domestic API and KSM manufacturing |
Fermentation, biocatalysis, biotech |
