Event Overview

Digital security threats endanger national security, with their potential to wreak havoc on critical infrastructure, supply chains, societal stability, and more. Encompassing cyberattacks and disinformation attacks, the increase in digital security threats has elevated the priority of cybersecurity across the U.S. government and for enterprises across the country. Tackling this national security threat requires the collaboration of the public and private sectors, and a technology innovation advantage. 

Join AFCEA DC for our annual event, which is expected
to convene 250-300 senior-level government and IT professionals (e.g. SES, Flag Officers, Directors, CIOs, C-level executives, Program and Project Managers) for a full day of can’t-miss thought leadership discussions.
