SOF Week 2027

SOF Week is an annual conference and exhibition held in Tampa, Florida, bringing together the international Special Operations Forces (SOF) community. It is co-sponsored by the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Global SOF Foundation (GSOF). The event includes thousands of participants and serves as a platform for learning, networking, and honoring members of the SOF community. It focuses on fostering collaboration, innovation, and showcasing cutting-edge capabilities and strategies in modern special operations. SOF Week is designed for the entire spectrum of the Special Operations enterprise. The event brings together special operations personnel, government and military leaders, acquisition professionals, industry innovators, and international partners from across the globe. Operators attend to explore emerging capabilities, engage directly with solution providers, and stay aligned with mission priorities. Government and acquisition professionals use the week to evaluate technologies, connect with industry, and advance programs that support operational needs. Industry partners participate to better understand real-world requirements and demonstrate solutions in front of the people who use them. The event also welcomes academics, researchers, and non-profit organizations whose work supports the SOF community. Together, these audiences create a unique environment where ideas move quickly from concept to capability.
