2026 DFMI: Orlando
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?

Orlando bring learning closer to home.

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.
