Cross Domain Technical Forum (CDTF)

CDS Community,

The NCDSMO has decided not to hold an in-person CDTF event for 2025, but our SMEs are actively brainstorming exciting alternatives. If you were hoping to submit a topic for this year's CDTF, we'd love to hear about it. Please send your ideas to NCDSMO@nsa.gov (with the subject line "CDTF ideas") and we'll consider them as we come up with other ways to connect with the CDS community this year.

Be sure to stay tuned to this page and (for those with CAC cards, our unclassified NCDSMO Intelink site at https://intelshare.intelink.gov/sites/ncdsmo/SitePages/Home.aspx). As our plans firm up you'll find updates on those sites and in our newsletter.

We look forward to seeing you in-person at CDTF 2026!

In partnership,
NCDSMO Team
