Kirtland AFB/Sandia Labs Tech & Cyber Day

Join FBC and the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association (AFCEA) - Albuquerque Chapter for the Cyber Security Seminar & Information Technology Expo set to take place at Kirtland Air Force Base. 

Why Exhibit:

This is the only yearly event officially sponsored by AFCEA at Kirtland AFB. The goal of this expo is to stimulate exchanges of information between industry partners and Kirtland AFB Information Management Officers', Information Technology personnel, Contracting Officers' as well as end-users, developers, scientists, researchers and project managers in the areas of cyber security and information technology. 

Because of the size of this location, FBC will work with the Public Affairs Offices and AFCEA Albuquerque, concentrating promotions on AFCEA members, information technology, cyber and contracting personnel from major commands and smaller units/tenants. Please note that Sandia Labs and DOE personnel are always invited and encouraged to attend, but the majority of attendees come from the Air Force side of Kirtland AFB.
