Why It Matters

Where capability, collaboration, and mission priorities converge.

Special operations missions demand speed, precision, and adaptability. SOF Week provides a rare opportunity for the entire community to come together in one place to share insights, evaluate technologies, and align around emerging challenges.

With tens of thousands of attendees and representatives from dozens of countries, the event has become the premier global gathering for special operations forces and their partners. It fosters collaboration, innovation, and the exchange of ideas that shape the future of special operations.

More than a conference, SOF Week is where real decisions begin. It is where operators connect with solutions, where programs take shape, and where partnerships form to support missions around the world. The conversations and capabilities showcased during this week influence the direction of special operations for the year ahead—and beyond.
