2027 AFA Warfare Symposium: dates and planning guide
AFA has announced March 1–3, 2027 in Aurora, Colorado. Use this guide to separate confirmed details from information still to come.
When and where is the 2027 Warfare Symposium?
AFA lists March 1–3, 2027 in Aurora, Colorado. Its symposium brings together Air Force, Space Force, combatant-command, industry, and joint-force speakers to discuss operational challenges, with professional development, exhibits, and networking. The official page also points attendees to hotel and transportation information. Follow those live resources for the specific venue, rates, and travel details rather than assuming they are fixed by the announced city.
Is the 2027 agenda or registration open?
As of this review, AFA's public symposium landing page prominently lists the 2027 dates and location but does not present a complete 2027 session-by-session agenda or a registration checkout. An announced event date is not a published agenda or an open registration window. Check the official event page for new agenda, FAQ, hotel, exhibitor, and registration information. Our AFA Connect event listing follows the official calendar, and the events hub compares this edition with other upcoming AFA conferences.
What can I review now?
AFA’s 2026 Warfare Symposium Full Sessions archive links videos and transcripts from the completed event. The archive organizes past discussions across air and space operations, readiness, and emerging technology; it is not a 2027 agenda. If you are planning to exhibit or sponsor, AFA has a separate Warfare Symposium sponsorship page. It is still labeled 2026, so it is a source for the type of options and AFA's contact route, not proof of 2027 package availability or price. Confirm the current event year and terms with AFA before committing. For membership questions, compare AFA's free and paid options: AFA's Mission Membership FAQ says the free tier does not itself provide a full-conference registration discount.
How can exhibitors recognize unofficial offers?
AFA's Warfare Symposium exhibitor warning explains its restrictions on soliciting business outside an authorized exhibit space, including in aisles and other public areas. It also warns that attendee-list offers should be treated with suspicion and that unofficial hotel sellers may misrepresent their connection to AFA. If you receive a sales or housing offer, confirm the current vendor and event-year terms through AFA's official symposium pages before sharing payment information. The linked policy includes vendor and contact details that may change; this guide does not certify any 2027 seller or rate.
How is this different from AFA's other conference?
The Warfare Symposium is a separate gathering from AFA's Air, Space & Cyber Conference. The latter is currently announced for September 20–22, 2027 in National Harbor, Maryland. Compare both on our AFA events calendar and follow each official event page for its own agenda and registration. If you want to connect with members near home before the symposium, find a local AFA Chapter.
