Critical Effect DC 2026
Critical Effect DC engages with policymakers, think tanks, media facilitating National Security & Public Safety / Human Life.
ICS Village, in partnership with the Institute for Security and Technology’s UnDisruptable27 project and Akin, proudly present Critical Effect DC ‘26, Washington’s only critical infrastructure conference.
Back for its 9th iteration, Critical Effect DC ‘26 connects policymakers, think tanks, the media, and the public with the OT and ICS experts on the front lines of securing our lifeline services.
In 2026, we’re looking to the future: U.S. officials have testified on foreign state hackers’ capability and intent to be able to disrupt domestic infrastructure by 2027. With less than a year to go, Critical Effect DC ‘26 features cross-sector, solution-driven presentations covering the emergency management, water utilities, and resources for Target Rich, Cyber Poor communities.
This two-day event presents 3 tracks:
1. Critical Mass (Keynotes & Big Picture)
2. Strategic Effect (Leadership & Board Room Plans)
3. Tactical Mastery (Technical & Tactical Execution)
Join us in Washington, D.C. on June 17 and 18!
