11th Annual Naval IT Day

AFCEA NOVA is proud to host the information packed 11th Annual Naval IT Day, a “must attend” conference for anyone interested in doing IT business with the Navy.

This dynamic and high-powered conference will highlight major technology initiatives underway across the Naval enterprise using the latest advances in cyber security, cloud computing, virtualization, and data center consolidations. Leaders will discuss enterprise-wide IT requirements across the Naval Forces and war fighting domains. Topics include short term plans for the next 18 months and long term visions of the future of Naval IT over the next decade.

This outstanding event draws extraordinary attendance because it provides an ethical forum to engage directly with senior technology leaders from across the Navy and Marine Corps. Acquisition decision makers from organizations inside and outside the Beltway including the Office of the Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer, Headquarters Marine Corps, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, Program Executive Officers, and Fleet Cyber Command will discuss their needs, how the Defense budget cuts impact their plans, and how industry can help craft the solutions needed to enable the warfighter in a resource constrained environment.  Navy and Marine Corps leaders have been asked to discuss current initiatives like Next Generation Enterprise Network, Marine Corps Enterprise Network, the Pillars Program, the OPNAV reorganization, and how the new N9 will work with N2/N6 to meet warfighter needs.

Naval IT Day affords attendees a unique opportunity to access and engage Flag/General Officers, Senior Executive Service-level leaders and major program managers in an open, ethical, and interactive dialogue about the capabilities and technical solutions Naval Forces require. Business developers, business leaders, executive managers, and technical leaders will gain outstanding insight into the vision and future directions of the Naval Forces and provide direction for industry contributions.

Of special note is the small business program which facilitates small business in making direct connections with small business liaison officers and program managers from across the Naval enterprise. It is also a forum for small businesses to interact with potential teaming partners, large and small, at the many networking opportunities throughout the day.
