DAFITC Breakout Training Sessions
Last year the Department of Air Force Information Technology and Cyberpower event offered over 185 breakout training sessions. The theme for 2026 is Accelerating the Digital Edge: From Enterprise to Orbit, and this theme features five unique training tracks.
The 2026 theme reflects the Department’s shift toward a unified, resilient, and AI-augmented digital architecture. In an era of distributed operations, our “Edge” is no longer just a physical location—it is a continuous digital thread stretching from terrestrial enterprise networks to the furthest reaches of orbital assets. We are focused on speed, resilience, and the seamless integration of data to ensure lethality at the tactical edge.
Read details about each track below. In the coming weeks, the full breakout training program will take shape, and in the coming months the full breakout training agenda will be posted.
