IDGA Homeland Security Week Summit

IDGA’s Homeland Security Week Summit is a premier forum bringing together senior leaders from the Department of Homeland Security, federal law enforcement, state and local agencies, and industry partners to address the most pressing challenges facing the U.S. homeland security enterprise.

Taking place in March, the Summit will explore current and emerging priorities across border and immigration security, counterterrorism, cybersecurity, critical infrastructure protection, emergency management, and public–private collaboration. Through expert-led discussions, case studies, and strategic briefings, attendees will gain practical insights into policy implementation, operational best practices, and the role of technology in strengthening national resilience.

Homeland Security Week provides a unique opportunity for government professionals to engage directly with peers and decision-makers, share lessons learned, and stay informed on the strategies and solutions shaping the future of homeland security.
