Federal Bridge Collective Networking Event
The Federal Bridge Collective is a purpose-driven networking event designed to connect exceptional, experienced federal talent with organizations actively hiring across government and industry.
Hosted by TAC, The Cyber Guild, U.S. Cyber Command, and DISA, this one-of-a-kind event brings together 100+ hiring organizations and 20+ sponsors across cybersecurity and technology in a dynamic exhibit hall built for meaningful conversations and real opportunities for federal talent looking for their next opportunity.
The program features leadership from senior government and industry, including a keynote at 2:45 PM by LTG Paul Stanton, DISA Director and DCDC Commander, offering insight into what agencies like DISA and DCDC need during this critical moment in their mission and how they are approaching today’s hiring landscape.
At 3:30 PM, attendees will take part in a high-energy, interactive panel discussion featuring:
- Tonya Ugoretz, Former Head of Intelligence, FBI
- Khoi Nguyen, Command Acquisition Executive, USCYBERCOM J9
- Steve Wallace, CTO, Defense Information Systems Agency
- Bobbie Stempfley, Vice President & Business Unit Security Officer, Dell Technologies
- Jack Wilmer, CEO, SixGen; Former DoD Senior Executive (Tentative)
This energizing session brings together leaders from government and industry to share lessons learned from their transitions, discuss how the landscape is changing inside their organizations, and offer actionable recommendations for the federal and cybersecurity community.
Our goal is simple: make great connections happen, bridging talent, mission, and opportunity in one room.
