CMMC Liftoff 2025 to Deliver Hands-On Guidance for DIB Contractors and MSPs Preparing for Assessment
Live event in Chantilly, VA, will empower attendees to get compliant, get confident, and get ready for CMMC Level 2 with real work, not just words.
CHANTILLY, VA – September 4, 2025 – With CMMC assessments officially underway and contract clauses set to appear in DoD solicitations in the coming months, the stakes have never been higher for the Defense Industrial Base. To meet the moment, Mission Compliant—a joint venture between cybersecurity leaders CompliancyIT and Queen Consulting Technologies—announces the launch of CMMC Liftoff 2025, a one-of-a-kind, hands-on readiness event for DIB contractors, MSPs, MSSPs, CISOs, FSOs, and compliance officers.
Taking place on Friday, November 14, 2025, at the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles in Chantilly, VA, the full-day event (8:00 AM – 8:00 PM) is laser-focused on real deliverables, not theory. Unlike typical conferences that leave attendees with vague ideas and unanswered questions, CMMC Liftoff is structured around action, clarity, and doing actual work.
The right event for the present moment. “CMMC is here. If you’re presenting for an assessment and you’re not ready, you risk wasting tens of thousands of dollars—and potentially losing your contract,” said Leia Kupris Shilobod, CISM, CCP, CEO of CompliancyIT. “CMMC Liftoff is designed to eliminate the guesswork. No fluff. No jargon. Just real talk, hands-on work, and a clear path forward.”
