  REOPENED FOR ADDITIONAL RESPONSES!

  Old Dominion University and ECPI University, in collaboration with the Hampton Roads Workforce Council Apprenticeship Hub, is conducting a comprehensive survey to assess the current state of cybersecurity-related skills gaps and apprenticeship opportunities across the Hampton Roads region.

  Please complete this survey as part of their effort to better understand the current landscape of cybersecurity apprenticeships and talent development.

  The goal is to gather data on how apprenticeships are being used across the community, the skills most in demand, and where gaps may exist. Your participation will help us identify the prevalence and value of these pathways, providing a clearer picture of how organizations are building their cybersecurity workforce. This information is essential for informing future discussions and highlighting the role apprenticeships play in addressing the nation’s growing cybersecurity needs.

  Request for all to Return survey by Friday 1/30/26. Below is the link to the survey:

  What: Maritime Operations and Information Warfare (IW) Summit

  When: May 11-14, 2026

  Where: The Hilton Main: 100 E Main St, Norfolk, VA 23510

  AFCEA Hampton Roads is pleased to announce the Maritime Operations & Information Warfare (IW) Summit, taking place May 11–14, 2026 at the Hilton Main in Downtown Norfolk. The Maritime Operations & IW Summit puts Fleet operators, information warriors, and innovators in the same room to answer one question: How do we fight and win in the data‑driven battlespace at sea? The event blends cutting‑edge discussions on C5ISR, cyber, AI, and digital engineering with surface warfare, electronic warfare, and mission support perspectives, turning abstract tech into real‑world maritime combat power.

  Over several days in Hampton Roads, attendees will move from hands‑on workshops and panel discussions with enterprise leaders, small business matchmaking, and live innovation events like Hack at the Harbor and TechBridge pitch sessions to high‑level threat and operations briefs. Along the way, they will connect with decision‑makers from Fleet commands, Navy information warfare enterprises, and maritime industry partners—building the relationships needed to keep maritime forces ready, connected, and lethal in contested seas.

  Call for White Papers & Speaking Proposals – Now Open

  We invite government, academia, and industry to submit 1–2 page white papers or extended abstracts for consideration as speaking engagements (keynotes, case studies, panels, or technical breakouts).

  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Operationally focused IW and C5ISR solutions
  • Cyber and Zero Trust implementation afloat and ashore
  • AI/ML and autonomy in maritime operations and maintenance
  • Transport, 5G/FutureG, SATCOM, and resilient network architectures
  • Digital engineering and shipboard integration tied to Fleet outcomes
  • Training, workforce, and mission support initiatives

  Sponsorship & Expo Opportunities

  A robust expo and sponsorship program will run in parallel with plenaries, panels, and workshops, including:

  • Navy Small Business Expo and matchmaking sessions
  • TechBridge‑Innovation Competition
  • Leadership Panels and Government Keynote presentations
  • Hack at the Harbor – CTF Competition
  • Transitioning Military Track
  • Classified Industry Day
  • Dedicated networking receptions and focused sponsor spotlights
