Whether you're an RSAC™ Conference first-timer or a returning attendee you won’t want to miss what’s in store for RSAC 2026.

Strategic military advantage is increasingly defined by speed, integration, and decision-making under pressure. Strategic competitors are advancing capabilities in cyber, space, AI-enabled systems, and long-range precision weapons while operating across the spectrum of conflict in ways that challenge traditional assumptions about deterrence and escalation. At the same time, the Pentagon is working to translate years of planning and investment into operational capability—balancing readiness, modernization, and force design.

The seventh annual State of Defense series will examine how the U.S. military is navigating these realities. Defense One will convene senior leaders from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force, alongside leading experts, to explore the strategic choices guiding defense priorities in 2026. The series will spotlight how services are integrating capabilities across domains, adapting operational concepts, and positioning the force to sustain military advantage, offering public-sector leaders insight into how strategy is being executed at the highest levels of national defense.

The age of AI is here, and North Carolina’s public sector is leaning in to lead with purpose. As leaders strive to unlock AI’s potential, they must also confront the growing need to secure critical infrastructure, protect sensitive data, and ensure ethical, transparent use of these emerging technologies. With cyber threats evolving just as rapidly as AI capabilities, today’s CIOs and agency leaders face a dual challenge: driving innovation while fortifying digital trust.

The North Carolina AI and Cybersecurity Symposium is an action-packed opportunity to engage with leaders at the forefront of AI adoption and cyber defense. From state agencies to local governments, to higher education, attendees will explore how AI and cybersecurity intersect to shape smarter, safer, and more resilient public services. Join us in a friendly, collaborative environment to share ideas, build partnerships, and gain insights from both peers and private sector trailblazers leading the way on AI and Cybersecurity.
