This full-day conference takes place immediately before the official opening of the 27th National Space Symposium. Similar to last year’s Cyber 1.0 conference, but with updated information, Cyber 1.1 will focus on senior leadership views on Department of Defense and industry cyber activities, including emphasis on developing people to meet the challenges posed by cyberspace. Featured speakers and panelists will provide insight into evolving cyberspace policy issues affecting industry and the government. The conference will also include: a networking breakfast sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton; a policy-focused luncheon sponsored by General Dynamics; interactive demonstrations and a networking reception. Co-sponsor Northrop Grumman is providing all-day coffee service. Registration for the limited-seating conference is now open. Although 27th National Space Symposium registration is not a requirement for attending Cyber 1.1, Symposium registrants will receive a $50 discount off the $495 fee for Cyber 1.1.
