AFCEA Central Virginia is dedicated to fostering innovation and collaboration in the data space, and we recognize that 2025 is bringing significant changes to the federal workforce. In response to the recent transitions, we are expanding the Data Centric Summit (DCS) to include a Career Fair.
This initiative is designed to connect transitioning federal employees, industry professionals, and university graduates with companies that are actively hiring in data, AI, cybersecurity, and other emerging technologies. Our goal is to provide real opportunities, valuable connections, and workforce development resources.
If you are a company looking for top talent, a professional exploring new opportunities, or a university partner preparing students for the workforce, we invite you to join us on November 6th, 2025 in Charlottesville, VA.
This is more than an event—it’s a commitment to supporting our community during a pivotal time. Let’s work together to build the data workforce of tomorrow.
