DATE: May 05 - May 07, 2026
LOCATION: Hilton Alexandria Mark Center
The Army Is Transforming - Be Part of What Comes Next
The U.S. Army is undergoing its most sweeping it, acquisition, and modernization overhaul in decades. With the consolidation of 12 PEOs into six new portfolio acquisition executives (PAEs), a shift to the warfighting acquisition system (WAS), and accelerated reforms in cloud, cyber, data, enterprise it, and commercial procurement, the way the army buys and fields technology is changing fast.
For industry, this represents a rare window to gain clarity, build relationships, and position solutions directly against the Army’s future needs.
