The Purpose of SOF Week is Simple: Strengthen the Global SOF Enterprise.
Jointly supported by U.S. Special Operations Command and the Global SOF Foundation, the event brings the international Special Operations community together to foster collaboration across commands, allies, and industry, delivering key capabilities to operators when needed.
What Sets SOF Week Apart?
- Premier global event for the SOF community
- Direct engagement between operators, government, and industry
- Real-world demonstrations and mission-focused programming
- Partnerships and programs that move from concept to capability
Key audiences include:
- U.S. and international SOF operators and leaders

Operators to Innovators
SOF Week engages the entire Special Operations enterprise, uniting personnel, military leaders, acquisition professionals, industry innovators, and international partners.
Grounded in SOF Truth V: Most special operations require non-SOF support, SOF Week also welcomes academics, researchers, and non-profit organizations whose innovation, analysis, and specialized expertise strengthen the broader mission ecosystem. Their contributions help translate ideas into practical advantage, accelerating the path from concept to operational capability.
