Walk away knowing how to turn federal contracting data into real relationships with the people shaping autonomous systems and airspace technologies. On October 27, 2026, the Warfighting Integration Network (WIN) is hosting the WIN Summit Series in Dayton, Ohio, supported by Department of the Air Force Technology Transfer and Transition (DAFT3), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Ohio APEX Accelerator, and Defense Innovation Networking Group (D!NG). This event is built to move past basic information sharing and help get dual-use capabilities to the warfighter to strengthen national security.
Small businesses, academic researchers, and nontraditional innovators will get hands-on workshops showing how to pull actionable insights from System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and USAspending.gov, led by analysts from AFMC and the Ohio APEX Accelerator. You will also hear directly from leaders at DAFT3, Vertx Partners, Shield AI, and Mile Two & Azimuth Inc. on Department of the Air Force (DAF) priorities and tech transition pathways. While interest for the 1-on-1 speed networking has closed, you can still connect directly with Department of War (DoW) stakeholders and industry peers during the two-hour evening networking social.
The summit takes place on October 27, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 7:30 PM in Dayton, Ohio, with both in-person and virtual attendance options. Register today at the WIN Summit Series Ohio page to save your spot.
