The International Chief Data Officer and Information Quality (CDOIQ) Symposium, is a must-attend event for thought leaders to engage in cutting-edge ideas, in-depth content, and world-class discussions about data.

Data is critical to every organization, and this symposium focuses on data management and leadership, advancing the data knowledge, and accelerating the adoption of the Chief Data Officer (CDO) role across all industries and countries.

The CDOIQ Symposium will host its in-person event on site at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge Hotel in Cambridge, MA. Against the backdrop of Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Data Quality, and Data Management, attendees will explore ways to deliver mature data and analytics capabilities for ROI. Topics include challenges faced by both local and global organizations, with case studies from various industry, academic, financial, government, and healthcare leaders.

We look forward to seeing you there!

As the federal marketplace evolves, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is taking bold steps to reduce duplication, drive efficiencies, and save taxpayer dollars. Executive Order 14240 directs agencies to eliminate waste and consolidate procurement of common goods and services under a “OneGov” approach.

Join Tom Meiron, Assistant Commissioner of GSA’s newly established Office of Centralized Acquisition Services (OCAS), for an in-depth fireside chat on how GSA is transforming acquisition practices to meet this mandate. Mr. Meiron will discuss the creation of OCAS as a cornerstone of GSA’s reform efforts, the agency’s strategy for centralizing procurement across government, and opportunities for industry partners to engage and add value.

This interactive session will explore:

• How GSA’s new centralized model streamlines acquisition of common goods and services
• The agency’s priorities in implementing E.O. 14240 and metrics for success
• Opportunities for vendors to support GSA’s mission and deliver cost savings
• Lessons learned from early pilots and what’s next for the new FAS organizational structure

This conversation offers a unique opportunity for the ACT-IAC community to hear directly from GSA leadership about the future of federal procurement and how public–private collaboration can help achieve greater savings and value for taxpayers.

In the seven years since the establishment of the U.S. Space Force, the Department of Defense has worked to prioritize space as a domain with as much weight and consequence as its other principle areas of responsibility. The Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Air and Space Summit is paying tribute to this with the inclusion of USSF alongside the U.S. Air Force for its latest GovCon conference. Top leaders from both service branches will participate in engrossing dialog with industry’s finest executives for a packed day of keynote addresses, panel conversations and non-stop networking.

Sessions will explore how to bring in advanced technologies to stay ahead in the air and space domains and the strategies leaders are devising to combat new, ever-growing challenges.

Large-scale events require integrated security and emergency management to protect attendees and maintain critical services. This panel examines responsible drone use for surveillance and response at FIFA matches and EDM festivals. We will discuss strategies to safeguard event connectivity and resilient communications under strain. Experts will address mass-shooting risk mitigation, on-site medical and policing coordination, and lessons from recent incidents. Finally, we’ll explore how weather-aware technologies can be integrated into real-time safety decision-making.

• Drone operations and governance: best practices, privacy, airspace coordination,  and emergency deployment at major events.
• Protecting  connectivity: hardened networks, backup comms, and managing cellular load to ensure continuous situational awareness.
• Active-threat preparedness: detection, response protocols, multi-agency coordination, and attendee evacuation strategies for mass-shooting scenarios.
• Weather-informed tech integration : real-time forecasting, alerting systems, and infrastructure hardening to mitigate weather-related risks.

Government, industry and academia are actively using new or modifying existing digital technologies to assist with changes, improvements, and efficiencies in operation of the business processes, meet customer demands, utilize automation to reduce many manual work processes while improving productivity, and enable these tools to reach a wider audience by reducing geographic barriers. Digital Transformation can improve operational efficiencies, provide more agility and flexibility in day-to-day activities, enable opportunities to grow and expand, and provide new value, satisfaction, and benefit for not only the staff but also the customers and shareholders. Many have dubbed "Digital Transformation as Reimagining How we do Business”.

Digital Transformation needs strong leadership with a clear vision and the willing support of staff to make the needed transition. Another key element of Digital Transformation is understanding what technology is capable of doing and how an agency or organization can make the most use of that technology investment.

This Summit will focus on where Digital Transformation is today, how it has been used to transition to new innovative technologies, and how it has improved overall performance. This event will also include an international element to hear how other countries have utilized digital technologies successfully.

The era of "admiring the problem" is over. In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the true measure of innovation isn’t found in a strategic plan or a conceptual slide deck – it’s found in the successful delivery of mission-critical results.

Imagine Nation ELC 2026 is moving beyond the drawing board. This year, we are gathering the boldest minds in government and industry to move Beyond the Blueprint. We are shifting the conversation from what is possible to what is being proven.

This conference is designed for the disruptors and the doers who understand that implementation is the ultimate form of innovation. Join us as we explore:

• The Velocity of Delivery: How leaders are accelerating the timeline from ideation to implementation.
• Disruptive Implementation: Breaking through legacy mindsets and bureaucratic hurdles to deploy modern solutions.
• Proven Impact: Real-world case studies of IT initiatives that have moved past the pilot phase to deliver tangible value to the citizen.

It’s time to stop talking about the future and start building it. Join us at the Gaylord National this December to celebrate our collective accomplishments and sharpen the tools needed to turn your next big idea into lasting impact.

TechNet Augusta 2026 gives participants the opportunity to examine and explore the intricacies of the cyber domain. With assistance from the U.S. Army Cyber Center of Excellence and industry experts, the conference is designed to open the lines of communication and facilitate networking, education and problem solving. Leaders and operators also discuss procurement challenges the military, government and industry face during a time of uncertain budgets and runaway technology advances.

Registration information will become available during Summer 2026. 

TechNet Indo-Pacific is the largest strategic event of its kind in the Indo-Pacific Rim. USINDOPACOM works closely with partners to enable resilient, survivable and secure collaboration across the spectrum of contingencies. TechNet Indo-Pacific, now in its 41st year, features speakers and discussions, many qualifying for Continuing Education, on how industry, academia and government can address and solve regional challenges. Exhibitors demonstrate solutions and services to meet the military services' requirements. TechNet Indo-Pacific is co-sponsored by AFCEA International and AFCEA Hawaii.
