Dinner + Fireside Chat: AI Is Already Inside the Network - Now What?

You have no shortage of options in Washington—we’d like to offer one worth choosing.

Join Infoblox and Carahsoft for an invite-only evening of drinks, discussion and dinner during AWS Summit DC. This curated experience brings together Public Sector leaders for a focused, candid conversation on how the cybersecurity landscape is evolving—and what it means for mission execution.

We’ll kick off the evening with a fireside chat featuring:

  • Chris Usserman, Global Public Sector CTO, Infoblox
  • Alissa Knight, CEO & Chief AI Engineer, Assail

The discussion will center on Agentic AI and the reality that there is no longer an “edge”—AI-driven systems are already operating inside today’s environments, reshaping how agencies think about security, identity and trust.

Following the discussion, dinner will provide an opportunity to continue the conversation with peers and industry leaders in a more relaxed setting.

Because in today’s environment, success isn’t about adding more tools—it’s about gaining better visibility, stronger control and a more resilient foundation for the mission.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening of meaningful dialogue, strong connections and practical insight.

As part of the experience, each attendee will receive a signed copy of Alissa Knight’s book, Hacking Connected Cars: Tactics, Techniques and Procedures.

Seating is limited to 20 guests. Please RSVP by Monday, June 22nd.
