JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas --  

The third annual 2024 Department of the Air Force (DAF) Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Summit will take place in San Antonio, Texas, May 7-9, 2024. The annual summit will be hosted by Richard Tempalski, DAF chief modeling and simulation officer, and Lt. Gen. Brian S. Robinson, commander of Air Education and Training Command.

“The DAF M&S enterprise includes thousands of employees around 70 organizations, spending about $4 billion per year,” said Tempalski. “Simply stated, the chief modeling and simulation office’s mission identifies enterprise M&S requirements and delivery of advanced M&S capabilities, which includes tools, data, and services to the warfighter.”

This year’s summit theme: “Training in a Digital World,” highlights the DAF’s drive to upskill personnel through digital training. The goal of the M&S Summit is to gather U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force M&S experts to learn about new M&S initiatives and techniques, network across military services and industry experts, and to hear technological leaders’ perspectives on how M&S can transition more training from the real world to digital. The three-day summit agenda includes:

  • Three keynote speakers - military, government, and industry leaders
  • Five distinguished panel discussions and Q&A sessions
    • DAF Senior Leaders
    • Training Modernization
    • Non-Commissioned Officer Panel
