ManuSec USA Celebrates Its 11th Edition in Chicago on October 21st-22nd 2026

Manufacturing is now the world’s most targeted industry. In the U.S., the threat is even more acute: manufacturers experience more ransomware incidents than the rest of the world combined, while production outages cost an average of $1.9 million per day. As operational and financial risks continue to rise, strengthening IT/OT security has become a business-critical priority.

Under the core theme of “Solidifying OT Security Fundamentals While Building Next-Gen Cyber Resilience,“ the 2026 program moves past simple perimeter defenses to bridge the gap between fundamental cyber hygiene and advanced autonomous defense. By attending, security leaders from America’s Aerospace & Defense, Machinery, Electrical, Food & Beverage, Automotive, Metals, Chemical, Pharma, Transportation Equipment manufacturing industries & more will acquire the tactical frameworks necessary to ensure continuous, minimum viable operations even during an active breach.

Grounded in this urgent reality, the 11th annual ManuSec USA summit brings together 150+ senior manufacturing security leaders, plant managers, and C-level executives to the Hyatt Regency Chicago this October 21-22. This condensed, two-day program provides the definitive playbook for security executives to mitigate financial risk, satisfy strict underwriting audits and defend American manufacturing against new and evolving cyber threats.

The 2026 CUNY IT Conference focused theme is: AI Disruption and Opportunities. Artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education at extraordinary speed, altering how we teach, learn, conduct research, make decisions, design services, and imagine the future of our institutions. For many, AI represents disruption in its most immediate form—challenging long-standing assumptions about expertise, authorship, assessment, labor, privacy, and trust. Yet it also offers new opportunities to improve access, enhance student support, expand creativity, streamline operations, and open new possibilities for teaching and learning.

AI is already changing the conditions under which higher education operates. The question is not whether institutions will respond, but how. This year’s conference invites the CUNY community and its partners to share ideas, experiments, concerns, strategies, and discoveries that can help us navigate this moment with intelligence, imagination, and care. If you are exploring how AI is disrupting familiar practices—or creating meaningful new opportunities—we encourage you to join us for this year’s CUNY IT Conference!

This is an invitation-only event, open to higher education institutions only. For more information or to request an invitation, please contact Jennifer Caldwell.
