Hiring Our Heroes' Virtual Hiring Fair: Technology & Cybersecurity is a nationwide online career event connecting veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses with top technology and cybersecurity employers. Taking place May 6, 2026 from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM Eastern, this virtual fair is one of the most targeted career events in the military community for candidates with IT, signals, intelligence, and cyber backgrounds.
Cybersecurity is the most urgent talent need in the American economy today, and veterans are among the most in-demand candidates. Thousands of veterans leave service with hands-on experience in network operations, signals intelligence, electronic warfare, information systems management, and cyber operations — experience that directly maps to six-figure civilian careers in cybersecurity, cloud computing, systems engineering, and IT project management.
You don't need a security clearance to attend (though those with active clearances will find their options expand dramatically). Employers at HOH tech virtual fairs include major defense contractors, federal agencies, Fortune 500 tech companies, cybersecurity startups, managed service providers, and government IT consultancies.
The virtual platform allows you to have video or text conversations with recruiters, submit your resume directly, and join group information sessions about company culture, benefits, and career paths. The event is accessible from anywhere with a stable internet connection — making it ideal for service members still on active duty and completing transition requirements.
Military spouses with tech backgrounds or interest in tech support roles are actively sought by many attending companies. Certification programs and educational pathways are also represented for those just starting their tech journey. Registration is free at hiringourheroes.org. Log on May 6 and take your career to the next level.
