Trending GovCon Events: September 14, 2026

These ten upcoming events drew G2X community research on The GovCon Calendar over the last 24 hours. The list spans federal and state technology forums, supplier engagement, and specialized industry events.

1. Go Green & Health Expo

The Filipino American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County hosts the Go Green & Health Expo on September 23 at the Anaheim Marriott Suites in Garden Grove, California. The in-person program brings small businesses and resource partners together around sustainability, conservation, health, and wellness.

An exhibition floor and informational panels provide a setting for exploring environmental services and adjacent markets. This is a local commercial and partnership event, not an agency procurement briefing. Its relevance is strongest for firms seeking supplier relationships and practical insight into the green marketplace.

2. FedTalks 2026

FedScoop’s FedTalks 2026 takes place November 17 in Washington, D.C., with a hybrid format. The program brings federal technology leaders and industry together around topics including AI, cybersecurity, cloud, quantum technologies, and digital services.

The breadth makes it relevant to firms working across federal IT, while sessions on zero trust and emerging technology can help frame more focused conversations. For capture and delivery teams, the value lies in hearing how leaders connect technology priorities to government operations and in meeting others working on those problems.

3. Florida Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit

Government Technology’s Florida Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit takes place September 17 at the Florida State Conference Center in Tallahassee. The in-person program covers ransomware, AI vendor risk, vulnerability management, cloud resilience, identity security, and public-sector workforce pressures.

Florida state and local technology leaders contribute to sessions on procurement accountability, cyber operations, and continuity planning. The agenda is particularly relevant to firms serving Florida government with cybersecurity or cloud services. Exhibit-area networking and a capture-the-flag competition add practical and relationship-building components to the policy discussions.

4. Fort Bragg Tactical Medicine & Tech Expo

National Conference Services, Inc. hosts the Fort Bragg Tactical Medicine & Tech Expo on October 2 in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The in-person event focuses on tactical medicine, defense technology, battlefield telemedicine, simulation and training, and related innovations.

A senior-leadership tour is followed by general admission, with demonstrations and hands-on interaction among the networking opportunities. The audience includes medical and special-operations communities at the installation. Firms with relevant equipment or technology can use the format to explain capabilities in the context of the operational problems those users face.

5. EPA FY 2026 Vendor Engagement Calendar

EPA’s FY 2026 Vendor Engagement Calendar brings together September 15–18 outreach activity in Washington, D.C., with hybrid participation. The listed engagements include EARTH 2.0 Industry Day and the Freedom 250 Supplier Matchmaking Expo, connecting small businesses with agency and supplier-outreach opportunities.

This is a calendar covering linked engagements, not a single four-day conference. Firms interested in EPA work can use the individual listings to identify the relevant session, attendance format, and registration requirements. The focus is vendor engagement and small-business access rather than a promise of a particular procurement.

6. GovAI Coalition Summit 2026

The GovAI Coalition, Government Technology, and City of San José convene the GovAI Coalition Summit December 9–11 at the San José Convention Center. The program centers on how public-sector organizations plan, govern, procure, and use AI.

Sessions cover practical issues such as roadmaps, budgets, cybersecurity, and operational adoption. That mix makes the summit relevant to government technology leaders as well as firms building AI services for public agencies. The shared setting offers a way to compare approaches across jurisdictions and understand where policy decisions meet implementation demands.

7. Government & AI Summit 2026

GovExec’s Government & AI Summit takes place September 15 at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C. The in-person program spans ethical AI governance, cybersecurity, robotic process automation, edge computing, 5G, and smart-city applications.

A networking breakfast and the day’s sessions bring government and industry participants into the same discussion about adoption and delivery. The agenda is relevant to teams working on AI-enabled public services and the infrastructure that supports them. Attendees can assess how governance expectations and implementation priorities intersect across different government use cases.

8. Beyond the Pilot: Scaling AI for Mission Advantage

GovExec TV’s virtual program on September 18 examines how defense organizations move AI from pilots into broader use. The discussion includes secure generative AI, GenAI.mil, agentic workflows, and the organizational changes needed to support adoption.

The focus is operational: how tools fit into work, how people use them, and how productivity gains translate into mission value. For teams delivering AI-related services to defense customers, the program offers context on adoption and culture alongside technology. It is a discussion of mission use, not a solicitation announcement.

9. GT APEX Accelerator Training Expo 2026

The Georgia Tech APEX Accelerator hosts its in-person Training Expo on November 10 at the Georgia Tech Global Learning Center in Atlanta. The event brings small businesses together with government agencies and prime contractors for training, networking, and matchmaking.

Its supplier-development focus is relevant to companies building their government-market presence or refining how they present capabilities. NAICS alignment and supplier-diversity discussions can help structure those conversations. Firms preparing to attend can use the event to connect their offerings with the needs of participating buyers and potential teaming partners.

10. The Global Agentic AI Summit

Modev’s Global Agentic AI Summit runs October 6–7 in Reston, Virginia, at the Carahsoft Conference Center and AI House. The program spans agentic, physical, and sovereign AI, with security and governance among the central themes.

Workshops, breakout sessions, and executive discussions connect public-sector and enterprise perspectives. For firms developing AI capabilities for government, the agenda offers a way to examine how autonomous workflows are being designed and governed. The mix of formats supports both technical learning and conversations about the organizational requirements of putting those systems to use.
