The Dayton-Wright Chapter of AFCEA invites you to join us for the Wright Innovation Technology Summit (WITS), taking place September 16–17, 2025, at the Sinclair College Clyo Road Campus in Centerville, Ohio.

This year’s theme is Shaping the Future of Digital Warfare, highlighting the convergence of emerging technologies to drive mission advantage across operational domains. WITS will explore the integration of cutting-edge capabilities such as AI/ML, robotics, autonomy, quantum computing, 5G, and Industry 4.0 through dynamic keynotes, fireside chats, hands-on tech demos, and expert-led panels. With a two-day format designed for meaningful engagement among academia, government, and industry, attendees will gain firsthand insight into how digital transformation from research to reality is reshaping the defense landscape. From immersive AR/VR experiences to startup innovation pitches and strategic acquisition dialogues, WITS offers a unique platform for driving cross-sector collaboration, accelerating readiness, and cultivating the workforce of tomorrow.

Who should attend?

The WITS audience will include senior government and industry leaders as well as technical experts from academia focused on enabling digital transformation. Companies interested in applying their technical expertise to support the DAF will have opportunities to network throughout the event.

What's on the agenda?

The WITS agenda is designed for speakers to articulate challenges, promote best practices, and generate dialogue on digital trends and innovation.
