# Carahsoft Hosts Reston Air Force Day

Carahsoft Air Force Day 2026 is scheduled for October 30 at the Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center in Reston, Virginia, with an online attendance option. Department of the Air Force sessions will cover modernization priorities, contract vehicles, funding timelines, cybersecurity, and how emerging requirements can progress to funded contracts and authority-to-operate (ATO) approvals. The event gives contractors a focused opportunity to hear directly from Air Force stakeholders and discuss pathways for aligning capabilities with agency needs.

- The event is **10 days away**. Companies interested in attending can use the online option or participate in person in Reston; the supplied event contact is Lars Lindland at 571-662-4223.
- Sessions on contract vehicles and funding timelines may help businesses understand how to position emerging solutions for procurement consideration; the signal does not identify a specific solicitation, award, or contract value.
- Cybersecurity and ATO topics are relevant to firms preparing technology offerings for Air Force environments, while discussions of EITaaS, CMDB, and workforce initiatives may inform market positioning.
