FBC is excited to announce the GSA, NTSB, FAA, HUD, Dept. of Energy Technology and Vendor Expo at L'Enfant Plaza! This is a multi-agency event and, while each agency has a different mission, all are related by their civilian agency status.  

Ideally located between the National Mall and the Southwest Waterfront, L’Enfant Plaza is located within five blocks of 19 major federal agencies, making it effortless to do business in Washington.  This event is in a new location, located within the L’Enfant Metro Stop Mall, and is easily accessible to the agencies that will receive promotions for the expo. This new space is part of the community gathering place for agencies housed at L'Enfant Plaza, and provides a unique environment and atmosphere for both attendees and exhibitors. 

The "Club Room" is just off of the main hallway within the mall. Free lunch tickets will be provided for the first 100 attendees that participate.  

This event will be promoted to the FAA, NTSB, GSA, HUD, Department of Energy, USPS, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, DHS and others. Potential attendees include CIOs, CISOs, Program Managers, and Procurement Personnel.

UPDATE:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate has recently dedicated a multi-year program to address GPS vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, with a multi-pronged approach that includes engaging with industry through events as a key component. DHS is actively seeking to discover and cultivate relationships to strengthen the resilience of the nation’s critical infrastructure. If you're an exhibitor with GPS-related capabilities, this event is not to be missed.

US Census Bureau Data Privacy Day

May 15, 2019

Conference Area Foyer
Suitland, MD
Event Manager:Dave Johnson djohnson@fbcinc.com

---

Think it’s too late to grab some 2020 Decennial Census business? Think again! It’s one of the most significant projects for the federal government right now. According to Tom O'Keefe, business & government consultant, the three areas most likely in need of help are cybersecurity, application integration and data privacy.

• If you can provide mobile device security, you can help secure the devices that census enumerators use for taking counts in the field.
• Forty-four different systems are involved in the 2020 census, so application integration will be critical. One of the biggest remaining challenges is data & application integration between systems.
• If you have data technologies that can protect privacy while allowing researchers to draw out valuable demographic trends, the bureau will be interested in your solution.
• Discover more examples in the full Washington Technology article. 

Get your product or service in front of the decision makers for the census! At this year's US Census Bureau's Data Privacy Day, sponsored by the Census Policy Coordination Office, they'll be primed for your data privacy conversation. This annual, day-long event provides an agency-wide forum to promote privacy and best practices for data protection. Census Bureau employees attend seminars on data privacy and protection, and seek out the industry exhibitors to identify and discuss solutions to the agency's data threats.

This is a perfect opportunity for all companies specializing in application integration, security and privacy to exhibit. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet a diverse group of professionals, who are actively searching for products/services that can streamline the census process, while still protecting Americans' identifying information.

All employees of the Census Bureau are encouraged to attend, so expect 250 or more attendees from all departments within the agency.

Cyber-attacks at nuclear power plants don't just happen in Hollywood. That's because places with radioactive materials make incredibly tempting cyber targets.

With this real and ever-present threat, the Information Security Directorate of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) works diligently daily to provide technological protection for our nation's people and environment. Part of their comprehensive approach is to convene semiannually for a 1-day NRC Cybersecurity Seminar & Expo with government and industry sessions that focus on what's new and what's next in cyber.

Held at the NRC headquarters and hosted by the Office of the Chief Information Officer, this event attracts their IT and cyber personnel, as well as their contractors. Internally, NRC promotes the event as "HACK," which stands for "Helpful Applied Cyber Knowledge." Their well-received campaign encourages all NRC technology users to be aware of the impact of their activities on connected devices (both at home and in the workplace) and the threats they may potentially and unknowingly generate.

This event has a long history of solid attendance - from 150 to 200 attendees - and pleased exhibitors. Exhibitors set up in the atrium, which is directly connected to the Auditorium where sessions are held. NRC executives, including the CIO, CISO and Information Security Director, have all attended each expo for the past 2 years. Attendees from the October 2018 event included:

• Developers
• Engineers
• IT Analysts and IT Specialists

In response to cyber-criminals stepping up their attacks, healthcare industry IT departments are bolstering their budgets. A recent survey by Healthcare Informatics noted that not one health system expected their budgets to decrease. In fact, half the respondents expect an increase in spending of 5% or more over the next 12 months.

So now is the opportune time to get face-to-face with IT professionals at health systems, like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Hosted by CMS's Information Security Privacy Group (ISPG), CMS CyberWorks: Cybersecurity & Privacy Day is the perfect chance to exhibit your product or service to healthcare leadership.

CyberWorks includes 9 breakout sessions – as well as a keynote – consisting of content geared toward all CMS cyber professionals and other employees with significant security responsibilities (SSR's). In 2018, there were about 260 attendees, all prepared for information exchange and networking at table top displays from prime contractors and small businesses. Make sure you are there to talk to them in 2019.

Why should you exhibit?

We fully expect this popular event to sell out. Here's why:

• In 2018, 100% of the exhibitors gave the event full marks and reported receiving many high value leads.
• The space is set up such that attendees must funnel through the expo to reach the keynote or breakout sessions.
• Leadership at CMS spends 10 minutes with each exhibitor.
• Are you in cybersecurity, telehealth or interoperability? According to Healthcare Informatics' recent survey report, executive leaders at health care systems identified cybersecurity, telehealth and interoperability as the top three areas of health IT that will have the most impact in 2019. CMS has expressed their interest particularly in telehealth. Read the entire survey report.
