14th Annual 930gov 2026: The One Day Cross Domain Summit for Government IT

In less than a month, one thousand public sector IT professionals will come together at the Washington Convention Center for the 14th annual 930gov, and this year’s pre registration numbers show something unmistakable: government is ready to meet the moment. The demand for practical, mission focused guidance on AI, Cybersecurity, Data Management, EA/Mission Enablement, Program/Project Management, and Records Management has never been higher, and the 2026 agenda reflects that urgency.

When I created 930gov, the goal was simple: build a place where government practitioners could learn from each other; not in theory, but in the real, operational terms that matter inside agencies. That mission is even more important today. This year’s program is packed with experts who are actively shaping how AI is deployed, how cyber threats are countered, how data is governed, how records are managed, and how mission systems evolve. These are the people doing the work, and they come to share what they have learned with their peers.

One of the most important aspects of 930gov is what its name represents. “9 3 0” marks the final quarter of the federal fiscal year, a natural point for agencies to take stock of what has happened over the past year, what must still be accomplished in the final two months, and what lies ahead as budgets, priorities, and technologies shift. It is a moment for reflection, alignment, and preparation, and 930gov is designed to support exactly that.

The exhibit floor will feature 60 solution providers, all ready to demonstrate tools, platforms, and capabilities that can help agencies modernize operations, strengthen security, improve data quality, streamline workflows, and accelerate mission outcomes. For government attendees, it is a rare opportunity to see a wide range of cross-domain solutions in one place, and to have real conversations with the people behind them.

And as always, 930gov is free for government. It is a full day of learning, connecting, and discovering — an in-person opportunity to meet peers across agencies, compare experiences, and walk away with insights that can be put to work immediately. Fourteen years in, the mission remains the same: bring government together and create a space where practitioners can learn from each other and from industry partners who understand the unique demands of public sector work. I am proud of what 930gov has become, and I am excited for what this year’s event will deliver.

I look forward to seeing you on July 28th.
