Air Force Information Technology Conference

The number one information technology conference in the Air Force, slated for later this year, will soon begin online registration.

The Air Force Information Technology Conference 2010 (AFITC 2010) is scheduled for Aug. 30 through Sept. 2 at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa Convention Center in Montgomery, Ala. Attendee registration for the conference is scheduled to open March 22, and will be open to Department of Defense personnel, military retirees, government contractors, College Educators, students, and local and state employees.

AFITC 2010 will highlight how we are using IT hardware, software, and services today and in the future to assist the Air Force in accomplishing its air, space, and cyberspace missions. AFITC is the premier conference for keeping Air Force IT users, developers and managers current on the latest technologies. Attendees also receive a “vector check” from leading government and industry experts on the direction of IT in the Air Force while learning about future industry offerings and advances in technology.

This year’s AFITC theme of “Dominance at the Speed of Need” emphasizes how streamlining the acquisition structure is vital to keeping pace with innovations in the IT world, and putting those dominant capabilities into the hands of our Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines faster. The needs of our warfighters continue to change at a rapid pace and the acquisition process needs to change with it.

This conference will bring together government leaders and key figures in the IT field allowing them to learn how to best apply the latest, cutting-edge technology to keep the Air Force the most advanced fighting force in the world.

AFITC 2010 will also provide its popular targeted training seminars and showcase product demonstrations from industry, academia and government.

Hosted by the 754th Electronic Systems Group in conjunction with the city of Montgomery, AFITC 2010 expects to attract more than 200 exhibiting vendors and 6,000 attendees from around the world.
