# GovExec Hosts Reston Zero Trust Summit

GovExec will hold its in-person Zero Trust Summit on November 19, 2026, at the Carahsoft Collaboration & Conference Center in Reston, Virginia. The federal cybersecurity conference will address practical agency implementation of Zero Trust across identity, data, and networks, including AI-driven security. Federal and military attendees with .gov or .mil email addresses can register free; government contractors pay $295. The event is not tied to a specific solicitation or contract award.

- Cybersecurity and government technology contractors can use the summit to learn about agency implementation priorities and connect with participating technology firms, including Google, Maximus, Broadcom, Ping Identity, and Splunk.
- Contractors should account for the $295 registration fee; federal and military personnel can register without charge using an eligible government email address.
- The summit may inform business development and solution planning around Zero Trust capabilities, but attendance does not represent a procurement opportunity or guarantee future agency requirements.
