Join us on Tuesday, April 14, from 8:00 am - 5:30 pm, at the Westin Arlington Gateway, for INSA's 2026 Spring Symposium, The Data-Driven Enterprise: Building, Buying, and Deploying Capabilities at Mission Speed.
This full-day program will examine how intelligence, defense, and national security organizations are using data to drive faster, more informed enterprise decisions, from acquisition and resourcing to operational execution.
Through three panels, two keynotes, and five ignite rounds, speakers will share concrete lessons on modernizing acquisition, integrating data and analytics at scale, and moving capabilities from concept to mission impact. The program concludes with a networking reception, giving participants the opportunity to continue the conversation and build new connections.
