DFMI Attendee Support Kit Components

Attending DFMI Orlando delivers tangible benefits for both the individual and their organization, making it a high-ROI professional development opportunity for the SDFM (Society of Defense Financial Management) community.

To support those seeking organizational approval to attend DFMI Orlando 2026 (May 27–28), SDFM has developed a streamlined Attendee Support Kit. This toolkit provides concise, ready‑to‑use materials to help clearly communicate the event’s value and alignment with mission priorities.

Key takeaways from the event will include:

Continuing Education & Credentials

Why these components? They collectively address the main areas that supervisors consider when approving conference travel: Relevance, Cost, and Return on Investment.
