DMV Rising is back. In partnership with the DataTribe Challenge, we're bringing together the region's most influential cybersecurity and risk management leaders for a combined experience that spotlights both the practical challenges facing commercial and government enterprises and the cutting-edge innovation being built right here at home.
None of that happens on its own. The Shop Talks, the keynotes, the panels, the pitch stage, the reception where the real conversations happen — all of it is underwritten by companies that decided this region deserved a gathering of its own.
Sponsoring means visibility across two high-impact events with one connected audience — the decision-makers, practitioners, and startups shaping the future of cyber.
