About this conference
The two-day Critical Effect conference is coming back to Washington, DC on June 17 and 18, in partnership with ICS Village and Akin. With 2027 getting closer, we are prioritizing ideas that lead to real, actionable impact. Critical Effect DC provides a unique platform for leading voices in ICS and cybersecurity to engage with policymakers, think tanks, and the media, while facilitating hands-on experiences and encouraging informed, actionable discussions. Unlike most cyber-related events, our center of gravity is zeroed in on National Security & Public Safety / Human Life. Presented by ICS Village, in partnership with the Institute for Security and Technology’s UnDisruptable27 project and Akin.
