Questions people ask
5 answeredCyberSat 2026 runs November 2–5.
The event is held in Reston, Virginia, at Hyatt Regency Reston; its separate classified program takes place in Chantilly.
The published audience spans government, military, and intelligence professionals, satellite operators, cybersecurity practitioners, researchers, and business leaders.
It is most useful for security leaders and engineers working on satellite and space systems, since speakers include the CISO of United Airlines, Space Force and NRO officers, and the CEO of Pen Test Partners, and the program mixes unclassified tracks with a separate TS/SCI program. Government and intelligence community attendees who qualify for the classified days in Chantilly gain the most; general IT security staff with no space or satellite exposure would find the subject matter narrower than at a broad cybersecurity show.
Attendees at government and defense-linked cybersecurity events usually wear business casual, with military personnel in uniform and some executives in suits. The Hyatt Regency Reston setting in early November suggests a layer for cool weather.
