Business and Enterprise Systems' PEO - CEO Conference

Valued Industry Partners,

It is my pleasure to formally invite you to this year’s Business & Enterprise Systems’ Program Executive Officer – Chief Executive Officer (PEO – CEO) Conference on the afternoon of Wednesday, 25 May 2022, from 1300-1500 CDT, at the Renaissance Hotel at the Convention Center in Montgomery, AL.

I am excited to personally host this event for the seventh year (sixth time in person) and continue our Air Force-Industry partnership. The BES Directorate, with your help, has continued to make huge strides as we rally around our 3 strategic pillars of Operate, Integrate and Innovate various technologies into business IT solutions for the Department of the Air Force. We have been on an exciting transformational journey as we continue to implement a) a shared services approach aligned to the Defense Enterprise Service Management Framework (DESMF), b) shifting to Agile DevSecOps and standing up a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery pipeline and c) adopting new technologies to put speed in the hands of innovative, digital-native Airmen.

Like previous years, the PEO - CEO Conference will be held in conjunction with the Montgomery Information Technology Summit (MITS) hosted by the Montgomery Chapter of the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association (AFCEA), and I hope you and your leadership team can join us.  As a valued mission partner, I hope you or your designated senior representative can attend the PEO - CEO Conference. I ask as if you send a surrogate to keep it at the appropriate executive level.  Please don’t send your Business Development lead, as they should be attending the Industry Day which will be occurring concurrently with the CEO Conference. Note this invitation is for a singular participant per company as space in the room is limited.
