PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Defining the Future of Homeland Security through Innovation and Collaboration

Name: Homeland Security Week
Start: 2026-03-24
End: 2026-03-25

The Homeland Security Week Summit annually attracts over 500 attendees and 40 expert speakers from across the homeland security ecosystem. Senior officials from DHS, DOJ, and local law enforcement join leading industry innovators and technology providers to address one critical question: “how can we best protect the U.S. homeland against evolving threats?”

Now in its 19th year, the 2026 summit will gather stakeholders from across government and industry to explore next-generation solutions in AI, cloud and cybersecurity, biometrics, counter-UAS capabilities, border management, infrastructure resilience, and more.

Join us March 24–25, 2026 in the Washington, DC area for two days of keynote briefings, expert panels, and unparalleled networking, as we chart the future of homeland security together.
