JETC sessions and activities create essential touchpoints between government and industry stakeholders. They offer specialized training and strategic insights on pressing issues while responding to federal requirements and evolving mission-sets.

The JETC Call for Presentation is how our education and training program is developed. We rely on your technical expertise and years of first-hand experience to develop the institutional proficiency the joint engineering community and A/E/C sector must have to compete in the extremely dynamic global arena we are operating in right now.

Our vision for the 2026 JETC directly supports SAME’s enduring purpose—to enhance readiness through developing people, driving partnerships, and delivering solutions.

The current international environment offers a broad number of highly relevant and timely topics, themes, and challenges for military, government, industry and academia to present on at JETC. The demand signal is clear. This is your opportunity to provide education and training at the point of need for America’s warfighters and industrial base. Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience to help us keep innovating forward!

Kindly be aware that the Call for Presentations is specifically not intended for a General Session. Furthermore, SAME does not offer any form of compensation for speakers who are chosen through this process. However, government speakers are granted a complimentary registration and a free one-day registration is provided to industry speakers who participate only the day of their session. Speakers who attend two or more days must purchase a Speaker Full Conference Registration, offered at a reduced rate. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to your participation.

Whether you are an experienced speaker or new to presenting, we welcome your abstracts on the following focus areas:

  • Architecture & Engineering
  • Construction
  • Cyber Security
  • Energy Security 
  • Environmental
  • Facility & Infrastructure Asset Management
  • Leadership 
  • Resilience
  • Warfighter Engineering 

The deadline to submit your abstract submission is by Wednesday, January 7, 2026. Each speaker may submit up to two (2) sessions for consideration.

Before submitting, please review the CFP Resources for more details on session types, speaker guidelines, and the abstract evaluation process.
