SEI Summer Series Events to Feature DevSecOps, MBSE, and Secure Software by Design
• Article
March 24, 2026—The Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has announced its 2026 SEI Summer Series. The series of in-person events brings together expert speakers to share practical and technical insights on how software supports military, government, and industry partners. The three-day series includes
- DevSecOps Days Washington, D.C., 2026 on July 21
- Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) in Practice 2026 on July 22
- Secure Software by Design 2026 on July 23
There is no cost to attend any of the events, which the SEI will host in its Arlington, Virginia, offices. Registration and calls for submission are now open.
DevSecOps Days Washington, D.C., 2026 will show how to elevate the integration of security into development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) practices and transform DevSecOps journeys. Participants will learn from fellow practitioner successes, discover ideas on integrating security into your teams, and leave with insights on automating security within the entire developer and production pipeline.
MBSE in Practice 2026 will bridge the gap between MBSE theory and its real-world practice. Attendees will explore solutions for addressing the organizational challenges of MBSE adoption, improving traditional system engineering and enterprise architecture design quality, leveraging MBSE for Department of War acquisition and test and engineering, and applying MBSE for cybersecurity, system analysis, and assurance.
Secure Software by Design 2026 will bring together thought leaders for presentations and discussions on all aspects of secure software systems development. Topics will include application threat modeling, development of security requirements, secure software architectures, DevSecOps, secure development platforms and pipelines, software assurance, secure coding practices, software testing, and more.
The SEI is currently accepting submissions for speakers and abstracts for all three events. The deadline is May 15. For more information, email info@sei.cmu.edu.
A separate attendance registration for each event is required, and in-person seating will be limited.
