On Sept 20-22nd the Commonwealth will host the Commonwealth Cyber Physical Summit at Jefferson Lab in Newport News, VA. The Summit, the first of its kind in the Commonwealth, will be the greatest gathering of cyber-physical professionals the nation has seen in recent days. Seating is limited for this high-impact, high visibility event, so early registration is recommended.
Day One (half–day)
Upon arrival, Summit participants have the opportunity to provide insight into cyber physical challenges and opportunities by participating in two sessions of cyber-related roundtables across three cyber physical-vectors: Cyber-Autonomy, Cyber-Internet of Things (IoT), and Cyber-Critical Infrastructure. Roundtable sessions are being held in conjunction with Governor McAuliffe’s National Governors’ Association Chair’s Initiative Meet the Threat – States Confront the Cyber Challenge and facilitated by the National Governor’s Association and the Business Higher Education Forum. Findings from Summit Roundtables will provide direct input to both the Commonwealth and National Governors’ Association agendas for the coming year.
