2026 AFCEA North Carolina Innovation Summit
Decision Advantage
In today's modern national security environment, decision advantage is paramount. AFCEA-NC strives to connect national security practitioners, industry, academia, and non-profit organizations to partner together to enable decision advantage today. Building off of the 2025 AFCEA TechNet Ft. Liberty event - the largest national security convention in North Carolina - AFCEA-NC introduces the 2026 AFCEA North Carolina Innovation Summit at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, NC from 17-19 February 2026.
Our Innovation Summit starts day one with training and transitioning talent across the national security landscape. Service members and others will have access to the latest hardware, thought ware and software as industry partners provide training on their capabilities - and talent will have the opportunity to work with industry partners looking to hire new teammates now!
Days two and three feature key leaders and speakers from across USG National Security , industry, and academia with topics ranging from artificial intelligence, unmanned systems, networks, and more. In addition, there will be events in the evenings and other days in the week as we partner with the Robert E. Gray SCRA and other organizations in the Fayetteville area.
