2026 Format Updates
- Using feedback from past events, the TAK Product Center decided to structure the 2026 TAK Offsite in the way that mirrors past years.
- All days will feature the traditional “open” format with publicly-releasable content. Keynote presentations will occur on Day 1 . Per TAK.gov account access levels, non-U.S. Government agencies, their contractors, and foreign persons will be permitted to attend all publicly releasable briefings.
- U.S. Government personnel are welcomed to suggest TAK-focused program briefings. Please submit your recommendations via events@tak.gov, and stay tuned for the upcoming launch of the 2026 TAK Offsite Event Speaker Request Portal. Please forward this invitation as desired.
