CSP-AB Summit 2025
We’re excited to announce the launch of our inaugural CSP-AB Summit 2025 — a brand-new flagship event bringing together the CSP-AB member community, federal agencies, and policy leaders for a high-impact forum on the future of cloud security and compliance in the federal space.
CSP-AB Summit 2025 will serve as a key meeting ground for industry and government leaders to connect, collaborate, and share insights that will help shape future frameworks and priorities — including FedRAMP, DISA, DoW, and Continuous Monitoring.
With three goals at its core — driving standards, strengthening community dialogue, and advancing practical solutions — the Summit aims to foster collaboration and accelerate progress across the federal cloud ecosystem.
Attendees can look forward to structured forums, dynamic technical showcases, and meaningful peer engagement — all centered on advancing real-world practices and shaping the next generation of secure, compliant cloud services.
If you’re a decision-maker, policy influencer, or cloud service provider looking to help shape the evolving federal cloud ecosystem, this is the event you won’t want to miss.
