GTSC’s BORDER SECURITY 2026: November 4-5

Join us for GTSC’s BORDER SECURITY 2026, our premier deep dive into the missions, priorities, challenges, and evolving needs of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

For more than a decade, GTSC has brought together CBP leadership, mission practitioners, and industry partners for candid conversations about the capabilities needed to secure the nation’s borders and advance CBP’s complex mission, including:

Safeguarding the nation’s borders and ports of entry
Securing and facilitating lawful trade and travel
Countering transnational criminal organizations, illicit drugs, and emerging threats
Modernizing technology, data, and infrastructure
Strengthening the workforce and frontline operations
Advancing acquisition and partnerships with industry
Strengthening international and interagency collaboration

GTSC’s BORDER SECURITY 2026, formerly known as CBP Days continues that tradition, providing a forum for government and industry to better understand CBP’s priorities, exchange ideas, and identify opportunities to strengthen mission delivery.

CYBERFUTURE2026: October 22nd

Held during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, CYBERFUTURE2026 brings together senior government leaders, cybersecurity practitioners, critical infrastructure owners and operators, technology innovators, and industry partners to examine how the cyber operating environment is changing—and whether our current approaches are prepared for what comes next.

Cybersecurity can no longer be viewed solely through the lens of networks, endpoints, and individual incidents. Cyber risk increasingly converges with artificial intelligence, operational technology, physical security, supply chains, critical infrastructure, geopolitical risk, and mission continuity. As these risks become more interconnected, government leaders need more than visibility into network activity. They need the ability to understand what a threat means to the mission, what matters most, and where to act first.

A central focus of CYBERFUTURE2026 will be the evolution from the traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) toward a Risk Operations Center (ROC)—moving from monitoring and responding to individual cyber events toward a more integrated understanding of risk across the enterprise and mission.

Throughout the day, leaders and practitioners from CISA, DHS operational components, the Department of War, the Department of State, the FBI, the Intelligence Community, state and local government, critical infrastructure, and industry will explore the capabilities, technologies, policies, partnerships, and operating models needed to protect the mission in this increasingly complex environment.

Conversations will examine emerging and evolving challenges including AI-enabled threats and defenses, cyber-physical convergence, operational technology security, critical infrastructure resilience, supply chain risk, threat intelligence, identity, data, automation, and mission resilience—with a focus on translating innovation into operational capability

MAY 15 WEBINAR: AI with Sensitive Data: How to Maximize the Benefits, while Minimizing the Risk

Most employees, federal contractors or otherwise, are using AI in their personal and/or professional life. Few are using it well. Even fewer are using it safely. Federal contractors are under growing pressure to adopt AI, but speed without strategy creates risk. This session tackles both problems. First, you’ll learn how to actually use AI well: the input-quality principles that drive better outputs, the workflow mistakes costing you time instead of saving it, and a practical mindset shift.

Ultimately, turning AI from a novelty into a daily tool. Then, you’ll get an inside look at the data privacy and security considerations that matter most when handling sensitive government data, from third-party risk management to the Department of Defense-grade protections that keep your information private. Built for leaders and operators, not just IT teams.

FITGov Webinar: AI & ChatGPT Implications in Procurement

Join the FITGov Summit for our webinar series as we explore topics related to Capital Planning and IT Modernization.

This session will focus on one of the new subject areas of FITGov that was added by the Government Technology and Services Coalition – Procurement. As modernization efforts accelerate, CIOs and enterprise IT teams have quickly realized the importance of procurement transformation to meet the needs of systems, software, and hardware. Procurement has emerged as an increasingly vital mechanism that also must adapt to IT modernization. One of the newest considerations is how AI and more specifically applications like ChatGPT will affect procurement strategy. The AI application ChatGPT is able to interact conversationally, making it possible to “answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.”
