## Event Details

As agencies continue to modernize their cloud environments, the FedRAMP ecosystem is entering a new phase. With the emergence of early authorizations through the FedRAMP 20x initiative, agencies are beginning to operationalize a model centered on automation, machine-readable authorization packages, and a growing trust network across government. Together, these shifts are reshaping how agencies evaluate, adopt, and share secure cloud capabilities, creating the potential to move at speeds that traditional authorization models could not support

This year’s summit will focus on the leaders and practitioners driving this next stage of adoption. Sessions will explore how agencies are integrating machine-readable authorization packages into their security processes, building trust frameworks that enable authorization reuse, and putting automation into practice after years of groundwork across the federal cybersecurity community.

Now in its eighth year, **GovForward's Carahsoft Summit on FedRAMP** brings together federal, state, and local government leaders alongside industry experts to explore the policies, technologies, and operational shifts shaping secure cloud adoption. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive roundtables, attendees will gain practical insights into streamlining the Authority to Operate process, advancing cloud security, and preparing for the next era of authorization in the federal enterprise.
