Recent executive orders put new focus on secure AI adoption, quantum readiness, and stronger cryptographic protections across the federal government.
For agencies already balancing modernization, security, and compliance demands, these new requirements raise questions: What’s changing, what actions are required, and what should agencies prioritize now?
Join GovLoop and government and industry leaders on Thursday, Oct. 29, from 12-4 p.m. ET/9 a.m.-1 p.m. PT, for a virtual summit where we’ll take a deep dive into the latest cybersecurity executive orders and their implications for the public sector.
You'll gain insights into:
- Executive Order 14409 and its impact on federal cybersecurity strategies and implications for agencies, contractors and critical infrastructure partners alike.
- How agencies can balance AI innovation with security and governance requirements.
- What quantum computing means for long-term cybersecurity planning and encryption strategies.
- Steps organizations can take today to prepare for emerging cryptographic and cyber threats.
This conference is not just about learning; it's also about connection. You'll have ample opportunities to network with colleagues who face similar challenges and share similar goals. Whether over coffee, during sessions, or at planned networking events, you'll build relationships that can support your professional journey long after the conference ends.
The need for this summit has never been more urgent. Four major Chinese state-sponsored APT groups—Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, Flax Typhoon, and Brass Typhoon—are already targeting and embedding themselves inside U.S. critical infrastructure networks. With over 80% of critical infrastructure privately owned, cyber threats in these sectors pose national risks, and defending them requires unified, real-time collaboration between sectors, private companies and federal, state, and local governments.
Billington will once again bring together the most senior leaders across government, industry, and investment to discuss ways to strengthen defenses, build resilience, and deter adversaries who fully understand how a single weakness can cascade across the entire economy.
When and where will the Billington Critical Infrastructure CyberSecurity Summit take place?
November 17–18, 2026
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center

San Antonio—home to Sixteenth Air Force (Air Forces Cyber), NSA Texas, the landmark Texas Cyber Command, and a growing ecosystem of critical infrastructure innovators—provides the ideal backdrop for this high-stakes gathering.
What is the theme/purpose of the event?
Securing Lifeline Sectors
Energy • Communications • Transport • Water
The interdependencies of these four sectors shape the stability of every government agency, industry, and community. A disruption in any one sector, likewise, can produce cascading effects across the entire critical infrastructure ecosystem.
This summit is designed for those who refuse to wait for that moment to arrive.
