IDGA is excited to announce our 10th Annual Military Flight Training Summit, is taking place on October 28-29 at the Westin North in San Antonio, Texas. Led by our event chairman, Lieutenant General(Ret.) Anthony Rock, former Inspector General of the U.S. Air Force, this year’s conference will welcome over 300 senior decision-makers and experts from across the Military Flight Training community.

Key topics at the 2025 summit include next-generation live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training, simulator and synthetic training environments, undergraduate and rotary pilot training, joint all-domain operations, advanced pilot readiness, and innovations in AI, data-driven learning, and immersive technologies.
