Technology Solution Showcase and Exchange Questionnaire

To Industry Firms: 

ACT-IAC is hosting an Emerging Technology Demo Day, entitled “Technology Solution Showcase and Exchange” on April 22, 2026 at the Carahsoft Conference Center in Reston, Virginia from 10 AM to 3 PM.   The theme this year is Where government challenges meet ready solutions.

Description of the event: 

A mission-themed tech showcase connecting government leaders with ready solutions, practical demos, and high-value teaming conversations. We bring government, industry, and academia into the same room around a set of pre-defined mission themes that reflect today’s priorities, constraints, and urgency.

Lightning Talks throughout the day provide context from practitioners and thought leaders, so every conversation starts with shared reality and ends with clearer next steps.

Cost to participate: 

The cost to exhibit is $2,000 for emerging and large sized firms and $1,500 for small and micro firms and $3,000.00 for non-member firms which includes exhibit table, chairs, internet access, monitor, marketing of the event listing your firm’s name, and two exhibitor passes. A mobile app will be provided with a listing of your firm, location on the exhibitor floor, and a brief description of your tool for all government, industry and academia attendees. The same information will be placed on the website. 

If your firm is interested in exhibiting an innovative solution, product or tool, please complete the questionnaire, and select one of the following Use Case Categories.  For any questions contact [email protected]. 

Exhibitor Use Case Categories: (please select one or more than one)
How might we leverage commercial space capabilities (e.g., satellites, launch and ground systems, space-based sensing, and AI-driven analytics) to enhance resilient communications, PNT, and space domain awareness for civil and national security missions, even in contested, congested, or degraded environments?
How might we design, deploy, and safely integrate robotics and autonomous systems, (e.g., drones, ground vehicles, and maritime platforms) into critical government missions such as military applications, infrastructure inspection, disaster response, environmental monitoring, logistics, and public safety, while ensuring reliability, human oversight, and resilience to real-world operating constraints?
How might we modernize government information systems with secure, interoperable architectures, AI agents, and workflow automation so that organizations can streamline operations, reduce manual burden, and enable near-real-time decision support, all while upholding transparency, auditability, and responsible use of data?
How might we apply commercial cyber and AI capabilities to detect, investigate, and mitigate cyber incidents and insider threats across government and critical infrastructure, while preserving privacy and enabling rapid, evidence-based response?
