Every September, the Air & Space Forces Association (AFA) hosts its Air, Space & Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, bringing together defense industry professionals and government leaders. It's where some of the most important conversations in aerospace and defense take place.
This year, Fognigma will be in that room. We'll be on the exhibit floor at booth MB319 to talk about what secure, mission-ready networking looks like in high-risk environments. We're also excited to share that we will be hosting a networking social at Cadillac Ranch on Tuesday, Sept. 15.
Here are all the event details.
What is the AFA Air, Space & Cyber Conference?
The Air, Space & Cyber Conference is the premier professional military development event for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and the broader aerospace defense community.
The 2026 theme, Advancing Air & Space Dominance: An Urgent Call to Build and Sustain the Forces, sets the tone for what promises to be a high-stakes gathering.
When and Where is the Conference?
The conference runs Sept. 14-16, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.
The Air, Space & Cyber Conference draws decision-makers, warfighters, and innovators from across the Department of Defense and the defense industrial base, with more than 40 sessions and nearly 300 exhibitor booths across the technology exhibit halls.
For anyone working at the intersection of cybersecurity and national defense, it's simply the best place to have these conversations.
Fognigma’s Commitment to Defense Technology
Fognigma was founded by passionate industry veterans who understood firsthand the gaps in secure networking for government and defense customers. That background isn't just a story we tell; it shapes how we build and who we build for.
The problems Fognigma solves aren't theoretical. They're the operational challenges that teams in constrained, high-risk environments deal with every single day.
Our Solutions for Air, Space, and Cyber Defense
Fognigma's platform orchestrates and obfuscates the deployment of private, self-owned Zero Trust communication networks and Mission Partner Environments (MPEs), drawing on virtual infrastructure across multiple commercial cloud providers. That means organizations can scale quickly, control access, maintain anonymity, and manage their digital footprint from any device, anywhere in the world.
With 60+ issued patents, Fognigma has grown into a comprehensive product suite covering:
- Network infrastructure
- Application capabilities
- Communication tools
- Security architecture
The platform is built specifically for environments where data ownership and mission resilience are non-negotiable.
The Air, Space & Cyber Conference is where the defense community holds technology up against real mission requirements. Our presence on the exhibit floor reflects exactly that alignment.
What Can You Expect at the Fognigma Booth?
The Fognigma team will be on the floor, at booth MB319, for all three days of the conference. Whether you're exploring new solutions or working through a specific operational challenge, we're ready for a technical conversation.
We're especially looking forward to discussing how Fognigma supports MPEs with secure, interoperable networking across coalition and federal partners. We'll also demonstrate managed attribution and operational obfuscation with ZeroProfile and Spawner Storm, showcase our Next Generation Command and Control infrastructure, and explain the practical implications of our FIPS 140-3 certification for defense deployments.
Fognigma's Networking Social: September 15 at Cadillac Ranch
Along with the Air, Space & Cyber Conference, Fognigma will be hosting a networking social event to keep the excitement going.
Our networking social will take place from 6-10 p.m. on Sept. 15, 2026, at Cadillac Ranch, National Harbor's western-themed restaurant and entertainment venue. This social is open to anyone attending the conference who wants to connect in a setting that doesn't involve a podium or a presentation.
What to Expect
The evening will include a mechanical bull for you to test your courage, an open bar with drinks on us, poker tables, and giveaways.
At our networking event, you won’t find pitch decks. Just good people, a great venue, and the kinds of conversations that tend to stick.
See You in National Harbor
The 2026 Air, Space & Cyber Conference comes at a time when the need for secure, resilient digital infrastructure in defense operations has never been more pressing. We're pleased to be a part of it and to share our passion for improving defense technology.
Come find us on the exhibit floor, bring your toughest questions, and if you're around on the evening of Sept. 15, come find out if you can stay on the bull.
Request a demo before the conference to make the most of your time in National Harbor.
