GovSummit Is Returning to the Nation’s Capital – Here Are the Top 3 Reasons You Should Attend

GovSummit is returning to the nation’s capital on Wednesday, December 11. We’re thrilled to bring together innovative public sector leaders for this free, industry-leading event. Registration is now open! Join us as we demonstrate how you can deliver on the nation’s cyber strategy with Splunk.

About GovSummit

GovSummit is Splunk’s largest, free annual event focused on providing public sector leaders insights into the latest cybersecurity trends and how agencies are mobilizing to meet challenges like implementing zero trust. This year’s theme centers around how digital resilience powers your mission. We will not offer GovSummit virtually this year; this will be an in-person event only.

Invited speakers hail from Federal, State, Local and higher education organizations and several private sector companies focused on cyber security, data protection, and cloud computing and storage.

Why You Should Attend GovSummit 2024

We’re putting the finishing touches on the agenda, but here are a few reasons why you don’t want to miss this year’s event.

Must-See Keynotes

In this new era, digital resilience is fundamental for mission success. Our purpose at Splunk is to help build a safer and more resilient world so that you can better safeguard the nation's most mission critical services and infrastructure.

Join us to hear from Splunk leaders like President, Go-to-Market, Cisco and Splunk General Manager Gary Steele, SVP of Splunk Security Mike Horn and agency leaders about how Splunk — now supercharged by Cisco — is providing unparalleled visibility and insights across the entire digital footprint to future-proof our customers.
