2023 Air Force Summit
As the Air Force forges ahead in its digital transformation journey, Secretary Frank Kendall’s seven Operational Imperatives continue to guide the service’s long-term objectives, capabilities and programs, especially in light of the intensifying peer and near-peer competition.
Software, zero trust, cloud, long-range fires and JADC2 remain at the forefront of the Air Force’s focus areas as the service embraces new technologies and approaches in support of critical national security missions both at home and abroad.
Distinguished leaders from the Air Force and the private sector will convene in dynamic discussion surrounding the service’s most important strategies, opportunities and priorities during POC’s 2023 Air Force Summit.
