Ocean 5 Strategies Sponsors AFCEA NOVA Student IT Day at Space Force IT Day 2026

Second-year sponsorship underscores Ocean 5's commitment to inspiring the next generation of STEM and national security technology leaders.

HERNDON, Va., May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ocean 5 Strategies, a growth-driven marketing agency specializing in B2B and B2G (GovCon) sectors across the DMV region, announced it will once again sponsor the Student IT Program at AFCEA NOVA's Space Force IT Day. The event will take place on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, in Chantilly, Virginia.

The Student IT Day program is designed to connect middle and high school students who have an interest in STEM, information technology, and national security with senior Space Force leaders, chief information officers, technologists, and potential mentors and employers. Last year, students participated in hands-on activities where they designed, built, and tested their own robots.

This sponsorship reflects one of Ocean 5's core values, adding value to the lives of the people it touches, and aligns with the company's broader mission to invest in the future of the technology workforce.

"Ocean 5 is, once again, thrilled to partner with AFCEA NOVA to support Student IT Day and inspire young minds to pursue careers in STEM. By investing in education and providing opportunities for students to connect with industry leaders, we can help kids succeed and build a strong, innovative workforce for the future."
