The Lexington-Concord Chapter of AFCEA is pleased to announce New Horizons 2026 to be held March 9, 10, and 11, 2026 at the Newton Marriott, Newton, MA. Under the theme, “Code to Combat Power: Accelerating Software for Integrated Defense and Strategic Advantage.” Government, industry partners, academia, and domain experts will present and discuss our nation and region's state of readiness. Speakers and panels will focus on the associated new business opportunities, emerging technologies, and the way forward to ensure the U.S. Air Force and other branches will continue to be the world’s premier Department of War with alignment to the Strategic Competition initiative in order to remain ahead of our global competitors to secure the future.

With keynote speakers and panelists from industry, academia, non-profits, Department of War Officials, Air Staff and Program Executive Office (PEO) leadership, this year’s AFCEA Lexington-Concord Chapter New Horizons event will explore numerous approaches with robust opportunities for networking. Planned presentations from the PEOs at Hanscom Air Force Base including Command, Control and Communications Battle Management (C3BM); Cyber & Networks; Electronic Systems; Nuclear Command, Control and Communications (NC3), and the broader Department of War community, will respond to this call to ensure leadership and expertise can best support research, development, production, sustainment, and partnerships for national security interests.
