The 2nd annual Program/Budget Summit (P/BS) will bring together defense financial management professionals from the government and commercial sectors to discuss the key issues facing defense financial management in 2024. Through discussions on PPBE Reform, digital transformation, upskilling, defense reform, and auditability, participants will be able to identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and develop innovative solutions to address the most pressing needs in defense financial management today.
