Join us on Tuesday, April 14, from 8:00 am - 5:30 pm, at the Westin Arlington Gateway, for INSA's 2026 Spring Symposium, The Data-Driven Enterprise: Building, Buying, and Deploying Capabilities at Mission Speed.

This full-day program will examine how intelligence, defense, and national security organizations are using data to drive faster, more informed enterprise decisions, from acquisition and resourcing to operational execution.

Through three panels, two keynotes, and five ignite rounds, speakers will share concrete lessons on modernizing acquisition, integrating data and analytics at scale, and moving capabilities from concept to mission impact. The program concludes with a networking reception, giving participants the opportunity to continue the conversation and build new connections.

INSA will travel to Huntsville, AL, on May 12-13, to continue its engagement with the IC outside the Capital region.  This two-day event will include an unclassified keynote and networking reception, and a classified (secret) panel discussion focused on key space priorities, securing satellites, and the intersection of space and cybersecurity. 

Join nearly 700 senior intelligence and national security leaders for an exceptional INSA evening as we celebrate The Honorable John C. "Chris" Inglis at the 2026 William Oliver Baker Award Dinner. This festive gathering will take place on Saturday, May 30, from 6:00-10:00 pm, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

As the nation’s first Senate-confirmed National Cyber Director and longtime Deputy Director of the NSA, Mr. Inglis has shaped how the United States secures and defends its digital future. His decades of leadership, integrity, and mentorship embody the values the Baker Award was created to honor.

The Baker Dinner is more than an annual tradition. It is a chance to reconnect with colleagues, build new relationships, and enjoy an evening of camaraderie in a vibrant setting alongside current and former IC leaders.

Join us in honoring Chris Inglis and in celebrating the accomplishments, relationships, and shared commitment that define our community. This is an evening of connection and recognition you will not want to miss!
