Owl Evolution Summit 2026

At Owl Evolution Summit 2026, leaders from the public and private sector unpack the architectures and decisions behind securing, sharing, and governing data that turn once impossible missions into operational reality. You will see how hardware enforced trust, Zero Trust at scale, and emerging AI containment models are being applied to protect defense networks, critical infrastructure, and high value operations when milliseconds define mission success.

Join us for keynotes, panels, and live solution briefings that show how today’s architectures are evolving into real world mission outcomes, from rugged COMSEC at the tactical edge to cross domain data flows that restore confidence in decision making.

Featured summit speakers bring decades of mission and infrastructure experience to the stage:

• Lt. Gen. Robert J. Skinner, USAF (Ret.), former Director of DISA and Commander of JFHQ DoDIN, shares lessons from enabling secure, real-time collaboration and trusted information sharing across the defense enterprise in contested environments.

• Glenn Wadden, Founder and CTO of Trihedral, brings forty years of experience securing SCADA and industrial control environments and joins the Zero Trust panel to discuss how hardware enforced architectures can simplify and secure complex critical infrastructure systems.

• Daryl Haegley, Technical Director, CROCS · Air & Space Force, brings real world defense practice focused on locking down operational technology, highlighting how Zero Trust design and disciplined architecture can strengthen OT resilience against advanced threats.

Mission Possible in Practice

After the morning keynotes and panels, stay for an interactive afternoon built for practitioners. Owl solution engineers and technical fellows will lead hands-on sessions that take the day's core themes and translate them into live, real-world use cases using Owl solutions, with Product Management in the room to provide roadmap and strategy context.

Whether you own mission outcomes, architect secure systems, or drive modernization strategies, you will leave with concrete patterns, use cases, and governance approaches you can apply immediately in your own environment.
