The Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) is the world's largest and most influential event dedicated to modeling, simulation, and training (MS&T). Held annually in December in Orlando, Florida, I/ITSEC brings together thousands of professionals from defense, industry, academia, and international allies to explore the technologies, strategies, and partnerships that are shaping the future of training and operational readiness.

In today's rapidly evolving global security environment, warfighter readiness is more critical than ever. I/ITSEC directly supports the U.S. Department of Defense's top priorities, including force modernization, AI integration, data-centric operations, and joint force interoperability. The conference is a strategic platform where mission-driven innovation meets real-world application—enabling military personnel and mission partners to prepare for complex, multi-domain challenges through immersive, adaptive, and scalable training solutions.

I/ITSEC is hosted by the National Training & Simulation Association (NTSA), an affiliate of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), and is built on a long-standing commitment to interdisciplinary and international collaboration. Attendees span all service branches, federal agencies, global militaries, educational institutions, research organizations, defense contractors and the commercial tech sector—united by a common goal: to advance the effectiveness, efficiency, and realism of training through next-generation simulation and education.
