Symposium Overview

Event Overview

The 2026 OACCS will align the National Guard Bureau A2/6’s strategy with vital efforts at both the directorate and wing levels. Our focus is clear: to tackle the information and cyber challenges of the next 3-5 years head-on.
 

Event Details

In a constrained budgetary environment, smart alignment is mission-critical. This symposium will provide ANG units with the training, resources, and opportunities to maximize resource utilization by aligning our efforts directly with the Air Force Chief Information Officer’s strategic goals.

Our entire agenda is built to deliver on three core priorities:

Strategic Priority Our Commitment
Drive Workforce Development We are People-Powered. We are investing in our greatest tactical advantage: you. The agenda is packed with expert-led training and mentorship opportunities designed to grow your expertise, because a developed force is an unstoppable one.
Improve Readiness We are Mission-Ready. Readiness is our only standard. The symposium will focus on the modern tools and tactics required for mission defense and operations in contested environments. You will leave with solutions that guarantee mission success.
Field The Modern Militia We are the ANG Cyber Militia. This is our identity. By developing our people and ensuring readiness, we are actively fielding a more lethal, resilient, and dominant force to win the digital fight.
