EVENTS
IPA invites you to our first-ever Pinnacle event, September 3-4, 2025, which will take place at the Carahsoft facility at 11493 Sunset Hills Road Suite 100, Reston, VA 20190. The theme is “The Evolving Future of Cognitive Security,” featuring two days of keynote speakers, panels, and networking opportunities. The event will be catered with refreshments provided and include an evening reception on September 3rd.
IPA’s annual Pinnacle conference is the Industry-led event that complements the Government-led Phoenix Challenge. Pinnacle brings together information professionals from Industry, Government, and Academia to explore the cognitive security challenges and opportunities associated with the current and future information environment. We tackle the hard topics head-on:
– How does the new character of Information Competition and conflict affect security at the intersection of National and private sector interests. What are Cognitive Warfare and Cognitive Intelligence?
– What opportunities do advancing technologies (Agentic AI, ML, Big Data & Analytics, Blockchain and Immersive tech) present for a hyper-competitive information environment, and what are the ethical and legal limitations?
– How can partners not normally associated with national security contribute to enhancing our mutual cognitive security?
For this year’s event we have a broad range of speakers invited, including career national security leaders from Government, Academia, and Industry who will outline priorities for investment, research, and collaboration. We’ve also invited members of the gaming and entertainment business, traditional and non-traditional media, and representatives from other organizations and centers concerned with cognitive security.
