2026 Air and Space Summit

The 2026 Air and Space Summit, hosted by the Potomac Officers Club in partnership with the Department of the Air Force and Space Systems Command, brings together senior leaders from the U.S. Space Force and the U.S. Air Force with top industry executives to address critical advancements and emerging challenges in air and space domains. The event, scheduled at the Hilton in McLean, Virginia, will feature keynote presentations, structured panel discussions, and extensive networking opportunities focused on integrating cutting-edge technologies and developing strategic responses to evolving threats. It serves as a high-level forum to align military, government, civilian, and industry stakeholders on future capabilities and operational priorities in support of national security objectives in space. The summit is positioned as a tribute to the seven-year milestone of the U.S. Space Force’s establishment, highlighting the Department of the Air Force’s intensified focus on space as a core operational domain. Though formally listed as a forecast under the agency’s procurement portal, the event is not a solicitation or contract but rather an official government-contracted conference designed to foster dialogue and collaboration. Participation is open to military, government, civilian, and industry representatives, with registration managed through the Potomac Officers Club’s public portal. The event underscores the institutional commitment to maintaining technological superiority and operational readiness across both air and space domains through sustained public-private engagement.
