Rocket.Chat's Comms OS gives government and defense teams a secure communications platform they fully control - from infrastructure to access. See how teams use zero-trust, attribute-based access controls to manage sensitive channels, AI-driven summaries to capture key decisions from approved intel, and encrypted voice and video for real-time coordination when conditions change fast. Built for air-gapped and sovereign deployments. Federate securely across organizations with Matrix protocol.

Rocket.Chat CEO Gabriel Engel and CPO Christopher Skelly walk through the 2026 product roadmap for Secure CommsOS, covering what's ahead for real-time communications, federation, and Zero Trust capabilities. This session covers: Rocket.Chat is a DoD-approved, open-source communications platform built for defense, intelligence community, and federal agency environments. Secure CommsOS unifies messaging, voice, video, and AI into a single platform with full data sovereignty and compliance controls.

Before we get too far into 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what brought us here: the commitment to show up, connect, and build together. This video highlights the moments and achievements that shaped our 2025 — and the collaboration that made them possible. As we continue building ahead, let’s keep dreaming, owning, trusting, and sharing in 2026. Interested in joining us in the future?

Standard IT tools weren't built for high-security environments—or for connecting seamlessly with mission partners across complex networks. In this session, experts from Rocket.Chat and Pexip explore how Federal Systems Integrators (FSIs) and defense agencies are modernizing collaboration without compromising on security. What you’ll learn in this webinar: Standard IT tools often trap data in silos, slowing down critical decision-making. We discuss how to move from legacy systems to air-gapped, mission-ready solutions that ensure total data sovereignty.

Governments remain one of the top targets for cyberattacks, with a significant surge throughout 2024. Yet, government teams often rely on commercial messaging apps that open doors to non-compliance, surveillance, and cyber risk. And communication delays and fragmentation can literally become life-and-death scenarios. Rocket.Chat’s Secure CommsOS eliminates these risks.

Rocket.Chat started, nearly 10 years ago, as an open source alternative to Slack. Today, it has evolved into a fully-fledged collaboration platform, supporting the needs of mission critical organizations around the world. We’re deployed at scale by leading organizations in defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure - an environment where there’s no room for failures. When every second matters, you need a collaboration platform that’s up to the task.

In Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland, public sector collaboration isn’t just about staying connected, it’s about staying compliant. Rising cyber threats and geopolitical risks make relying on non-EU cloud solutions a serious risk. With GDPR, NIS2, and Sweden’s Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (SFS 2009:400), the stakes are high.

As we step into 2025, we’re filled with gratitude as we reflect on the moments that made 2024 truly special for Rocket.Chat’s incredible team. Check them out in our recap video! From the milestones we celebrated to the challenges we conquered, each moment reflects the incredible dedication of our Rocketeers who bring our DOTS to life every day. Together, we’ve built something truly special, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve achieved. A huge thank you to our amazing team for making everything possible.

As the world advances into an era of cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming every industry — including defense. From intelligence analysis to autonomous weapons, AI-driven systems are reshaping how we fight, offering unparalleled strategic advantages. Featured Speakers.
