Air, Space & Cyber Conference 2027
The Air & Space Forces Association's Air, Space & Cyber Conference runs September 20–22, 2027 in National Harbor, Maryland. AFA lists it as both a virtual and an in-person event, and has already published the following two years: September 18–20, 2028 and September 17–19, 2029.
What it is
AFA describes the conference as providing professional military development, a place to share emerging requirements and technologies, and connections that "advance the cause of airpower and spacepower." The audience mixes Air Force and Space Force leaders with industry: AFA's exhibitor information names the Secretary of the Air Force, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the Chief of Space Operations, the Chief Master Sergeants of both services, and commanders from all 11 major commands among past attendees.
The exhibit halls
The 2026 directory listed nearly 300 exhibitors in the technology exhibit halls. Booth space is sold in 10-by-10-foot increments through National Trade Productions, and 2027 floor maps are already posted. AFA Corporate Members receive one full conference registration with a booth purchase.
Watching from home
Sessions and keynotes are recorded. Full sessions and transcripts from the 2021–2026 conferences are on AFA's event archive and YouTube channel.
