The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is critical to the defense industrial base and required for all defense prime and sub-contractors. This conference brings together experts, practitioners, and vendors within the CMMC ecosystem to foster the open exchange of ideas and strategies for cybersecurity and compliance; for everyone from the smallest OSC (Organization Seeking Compliance) to Prime Contractors, Students and Educators, Managed Service Providers (MSP) to CMMC Third-Party Assessor Organizations (C3PAO) to be able to learn, share, meet, and add value to their cybersecurity and compliance journey. We are expecting CMMC practitioners from throughout the Midwest to attend.
