Introducing DFMI: The Next Chapter in Defense Financial Excellence

Washington, D.C. — The Society of Defense Financial Management (SDFM) is proud to unveil the rebranding of its flagship event, formerly known as the Professional Development Institute (PDI), to the Defense Financial Management Institute (DFMI).

DFMI marks a bold evolution in professional development for defense financial managers. More than a single annual gathering, DFMI is a dynamic series of regional events designed to deliver career-long education, expertise, and excellence for professionals working to secure our nation’s defense.

Why DFMI?

  • Expanded Reach: Regional events like DFMI Huntsville and DFMI Orlando bring high-impact learning closer to home.

The DFMI event series introduces a refreshed experience with new branding, targeted sessions, and expanded networking opportunities. These updates are designed to meet the evolving needs of defense financial managers and foster deeper engagement across the community.

DFMI remains committed to delivering top-tier professional development. Attendees will continue to earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits and connect with thought leaders, ensuring that career-long learning and expertise remain central to every event.
