Event Details

The Federal cloud certification landscape is changing fast and FedRAMP 20x represents the most significant shift in the program's history. The Friday before Thanksgiving, pull up a seat and enjoy lunch on us for a practical, no-jargon look at what 20x actually means for your organization. 

Join us Friday, November 20, for a lunch & learn hosted by Carahsoft and in partnership with Schellman, Bladestack.IO, InfusionPoints, Second Front, OpenAI and the CSP-AB. This session brings together assessors, readiness advisors, accelerators and CSPs with firsthand 20x certification experience to dish out the answers to the questions that matter most:

  • What is the real difference between Rev5 and 20x?
  • What do the new Certification Classes mean for your path to market?
  • What's already locked in, and what is still cooking?

With dedicated business and technical tracks, you can dig into the topics most relevant to your role and leave with practical insights to help you navigate what is next. Whether you are just getting a taste of FedRAMP 20x or already elbow-deep in certification, there is a seat at the table for you!
