2026 DFMI: Orlando
Dates: May 27 - 28 | Pre-Conference: May 26
Our second event in the Defense Financial Management Institute (DFMI) 2026 series, DFMI Orlando!
Formerly known as the Professional Development Institute (PDI), this is our next chapter in defense financial excellence. 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.
2026 Theme: Mission‑Ready FM — Aligning People, Policy, and Technology for Measurable Outcomes
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.
There will be no concurrent, virtual option for DFMI events. SDFM may offer an on-demand version of some or all of the DFMI content at a later date, but as of now, there is no timeline for that product decided or announced.
