ATARC: GITEC 2026
As emerging technologies redefine what’s possible across government, GITEC 2026 convenes senior federal leaders, industry innovators, and academic experts to explore the path forward for secure, data-driven, and AI-enabled government operations. Over two and a half days of collaboration, attendees will examine how cybersecurity, zero trust, artificial intelligence, generative AI, and digital modernization are converging to advance mission outcomes and strengthen public trust.
Hosted in historic Charlottesville, Virginia, GITEC 2026 offers a unique forum for dialogue and partnership among the nation’s top public and private-sector technology minds. Guided by the GITEC Board—comprised of leaders from government, industry, and academia—this year’s programming features dual-track sessions, strategic discussions, and networking opportunities designed to translate bold ideas into tangible progress. From Sunday evening’s opening reception to Tuesday’s closing sessions, participants will gain forward-looking insights, forge lasting connections, and help shape the next era of federal technology and workforce innovation.
