2026 PreVeil CMMC Summit Logo

Join us at America’s most attended CMMC event

Get straight answers from the people that set the bar, met the bar, and measure the bar: the author of NIST 800-171, defense compliance attorneys, C3PAO assessment directors, and CEOs who’ve taken their own companies through certification.

Across 14 sessions and 3 tracks, you’ll learn what’s required of you right now, what it costs, what third-party assessments will actually look like going forward, and what you need to do to remain competitive in the DIB.

Have CUI? Here Comes the Responsibility

Often, contractors don’t know whether they hold CUI. This session settles that quickly, then turns to the harder question: what CUI obligates you to.

SSP Teardown: Would Yours Hold Up?

Flowdown That Works: Instructions Subs Can Use

You’ve told your suppliers they need to be compliant. Have you told them enough to act on it? This session covers what clear flowdown looks like — how you mark and hand off CUI, what you require and what evidence you accept.

Mock Assessment: One Control, Live

How deep does an assessor actually go? This session is a live mock assessment of a single control — starting with your SSP statement and following it into policy, evidence and interview. You’ll leave knowing what will be asked of you and what will satisfy it.

Four paths to compliance. Which is right for your company?

There is more than one way to get to CMMC compliance, and the right one depends on your size, your budget, and how much of the work you can absorb internally. This session walks through four routes and what each demands. You’ll leave knowing which one is yours.

You Passed Your Assessment. You’re Not Done.

What does it actually take to keep up your certification? Not the rare, dramatic changes but the ordinary ones such as unpatched systems or inventory that lists machines you decommissioned last year. This session covers what a working compliance program looks like and what yours has to do going forward.

Event Reviews

“We attended last year’s CMMC Summit looking for clarity and practical guidance on our path toward CMMC. The Summit gave us a much better understanding of the requirements and the steps ahead, while reinforcing our confidence in PreVeil as a partner in our compliance journey.”

– CMMC Lead @ Aerospace Company

“I can personally attest that the PreVeil Summit in 2025 was a powerful confirmation that we made the right decision partnering with PreVeil in 2021. The speakers and staff showed exactly why our clients trust the platform and why we continue to appreciate PreVeil’ s support year after year. “

– Cybersecurity Lead @ IT Provider

“The 2025 CMMC Summit gave me valuable insights into how PreVeil and other CMMC partners differentiate themselves while helping organizations navigate complex compliance requirements. It was a worthwhile experience that expanded my perspective on the CMMC community.”

– Manager @ MSP
