With nearly 6,000 individual and corporate members, AFCEA NOVA boasts the largest membership in the AFCEA International community. Our chapter has the hometown advantage.  We have 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 IT Days, Monthly Luncheons, Breakfasts, Women in NOVA, CEU, and special events connect your company with government speakers that provide current policy and future program technology content with relevant business connections to meet your bottom-line goals.

Proceeds from our events support the AFCEA NOVA chapter and our Education Fund. AFCEA NOVA is actively involved with leadership development and STEM. We have teamed with local middle schools, high schools, and universities, annually awarding thousands of dollars in scholarships and educational grants. 

AFCEA NOVA sponsorship opportunities provide your company with a marketing advantage in reaching the government and industry. We  connect your company through our outreach campaigns to more than 19,000* government and industry contacts, and our social media messages reach more than 4,000 followers in the Northern Virginia market. *Email averages from 2021 to present utilizing Constant Contact emails.

Executive Roundtable: Recognizing the support of its corporate sponsors, AFCEA NOVA holds an annual Executive Roundtable (ERT) in June.

High-level government speakers are invited to share their views off-the-record and talk about the challenges and realities of the DOD budget and marketspace.
