With over 7,000 individual and corporate members, our chapter boasts the largest membership in the AFCEA International community. Our chapter is blessed with the hometown advantage of having the Pentagon in our back yard, the Nation's Capital right next door, and the backbone of the Internet at our center.  This means that our Monthly luncheons, IT Days, Breakfast and special events connect you with Government speakers that provide current policy and future program technology content with relevant business connections to meet your bottom-line goals.

We connect with our membership through a variety of meetings and events to enhance your experience and provide an ethical setting to connect with Government.  These include our popular monthly luncheons that run September through June featuring leading Government speakers on how information technology enables National Security and other relevant DOD topics.  We also hold larger one Day IT Day conferences featuring speakers on information technology from the Army, Navy, USMC, Air Force, DOD and other Federal agencies.  We also provide our members with more intimate settings to connect one on one with Industry  and Government leadership including: Small Business Breakfasts, Annual Golf Outing, Women in NOVA speaker series and our popular Young AFCEAN social events.
