2026 DFMI: Huntsville
We’re excited to announce the
rebranding of SDFM’s flagship event—formerly known as the Professional
Development Institute (PDI)—to the Defense Financial Management
Institute (DFMI).
DFMI is more than a single
annual gathering—it’s a growing series of high-impact regional events designed
to deliver career-long education, expertise, and excellence for financial
managers working to secure our nation’s defense.
Why DFMI?
- Innovation: Aligning
with our mission to advance national security through financial leadership
and modernization.
- Expanded
Reach: Regional events like DFMI Huntsville and DFMI
Orlando bring learning closer to home.
- Focused
Impact: Sessions tailored to today’s defense financial
challenges—driving accountability, transformation, and strategic
decision-making.
The DFMI event series is
undergoing several exciting changes. With a new name and branding for all
events, participants can expect a refreshed experience that features targeted
sessions and expanded networking opportunities. These updates are designed to
better serve the evolving needs of defense financial managers and foster
greater engagement across the community.
DFMI remains committed to delivering top-tier professional development. Attendees will continue to have opportunities to earn CPEs and connect with thought leaders, ensuring that the core value of career-long learning and expertise remains at the heart of every event.
