About the Conference

 

 

 

The George Washington University’s College of Professional Studies (CPS) and The Cyber Guild have joined forces in a strategic ecosystem partnership designed to convene and mobilize leaders, experts, and innovators across the cybersecurity landscape. Together, we are building a multi-year platform that strengthens public–private collaboration, advances workforce readiness, and elevates national resilience in the face of rapidly evolving threats.

At the heart of this partnership is the Cybersecurity, Stronger Together Conference series—a signature annual event that brings together government, industry, and academic voices to confront emerging cyber and infrastructure vulnerabilities. Now a cornerstone initiative of our ecosystem partnership, the conference fosters deep engagement, accelerates shared learning, and drives solutions-oriented dialogue across sectors.
