The Department of the Air Force IT and Cyberpower Education and
Training Event is set to kick off August 28-30, 2023, downtown Montgomery, Alabama.
The 2023 event, now open for registration, is focused on digital transformation and will host approximately 200 vendors along with keynote speakers from around the Defense Department and private industry.
“We’re excited to bring together IT and cyber professionals from across the military, government, industry, and academia to share their thoughts on this critical topic,” said Lt. Col. Nathan Van Loon, the event’s co-chair. “We live in an increasingly digital environment, which demands that the Department of
the Air Force invest in and provide the tools that Airmen and Guardians need to compete and win in tomorrow's fight.”
