Where Security and Innovation Converge
This isn’t just a cybersecurity summit. It’s a momentum shift.
At a time when agencies are juggling complex frameworks, evolving threats, and growing pressure to modernize—GovRAMP is bringing the right people into the room, at the right time, to move secure cloud governance forward.
The 2025 GovRAMP Cyber Summit, presented by Carahsoft, will unite public sector leaders, cybersecurity experts, policy influencers, and cloud providers for two days of focused, high-impact collaboration—right in the heart of downtown Chicago.
A Working Summit for the Public Good
If you work in public-sector cybersecurity, procurement, compliance, or cloud technology, you know the stakes. The risks are real. The pressure is high. And the policies don’t always make implementation easy.
That’s exactly why this event exists.
At the GovRAMP Cyber Summit, we go beyond surface-level conversation to explore how government and industry are navigating shared challenges and building smarter solutions—together.
Through interactive sessions, candid panels, and peer-driven learning, we’ll tackle:
- How frameworks like FedRAMP, CJIS, and GovRAMP can align to reduce duplication, cost, and complexity
- How procurement teams are embedding cybersecurity into sourcing strategies
- How service providers can better anticipate and meet public sector expectations
- How agencies are securely integrating AI/ML to modernize services without compromising trust
And throughout it all, we’ll focus on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.
Designed to Deliver Real Impact
The GovRAMP Cyber Summit is intentionally different—focused, collaborative, and rooted in real-world outcomes. Conversation, not lectures. Solutions, not sales.
You’ll hear from leaders at every level—those writing policy, evaluating vendors, securing systems, and navigating daily risk. You’ll engage with peers facing similar challenges. And you’ll leave with insights you can use.
This year’s expanded program includes:
- Hands-on workshops, including a live crisis simulation
- Breakout learning labs on security, procurement, AI, and more
- Keynotes to spark action and strategic dialogue
- Closed-door networking opportunities for GovRAMP members
The tone is professional but practical. The content is timely, relevant, and actionable. You won’t just listen—you’ll participate, contribute, and connect.
Who You’ll Be Joining
The GovRAMP Cyber Summit convenes a cross-section of public and private sector leaders, including:
- Government CIOs, CISOs, and cybersecurity officials
- Procurement and compliance leaders
- Cloud service providers and 3PAOs
