# Quantum XChange Leads Post-Quantum Panel in Reston

Quantum XChange CEO Eddy Zervigon is leading a federal-focused panel on post-quantum cryptography at the ACT-IAC 2026 Cyber Summit on October 14, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. ET at the Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center in Reston, Virginia. The discussion covers crypto-agility, encryption lifecycle management, and deploying quantum-safe security across existing infrastructure. The announcement identifies no solicitation or contract award, but notes that Quantum XChange’s partnership with Carahsoft provides public-sector procurement access to its solutions.

- Contractors supporting federal encryption modernization can use the panel’s implementation discussion to understand practical challenges agencies face in transitioning to post-quantum cryptography.
- Quantum XChange and Carahsoft’s procurement relationship is relevant to agencies evaluating access routes for quantum-safe security solutions; the announcement does not specify a contract vehicle or acquisition opportunity.
- There is no stated contract value, solicitation, or proposal deadline. The event is a source of market and implementation insight rather than a confirmed procurement.
