📣 Full circle moment…

Last year, I attended #GovTechCon just to learn, network, and soak up the game.

This year?
I’m coming back as a speaker. 🔥

I’ll be hitting the stage at #GovTechCon2025 to talk about how we bridge the gap between policy and execution—especially in compliance, cybersecurity, and the mission-driven tech space.

It’s all going down September 11–13 at the
📍 Gaylord National Convention Center
🗓️ DC Metro Area

This event brings together some of the brightest minds in tech, GRC, and government innovation. If you’re a cleared professional, policymaker, builder, or just passionate about public sector impact — this is your space.

We’re not just talking innovation.
We’re building the future of it.

💡 Real conversations
🤝 Real connections
🚀 Real transformation

Let’s get it. Hope to see you there.

I’ve been getting asked this same question over and over again:
“Chris, how do I get into RMF or become an ISSO if I don’t have experience?”
So instead of answering one DM at a time…
I wrote an eBook.
📘 “Unlock Your Career Potential: Breaking Into RMF With No Experience” — this guide breaks down step-by-step how to get started in Risk Management Framework (RMF) and land cleared roles like ISSO.
This is for you if:
✅ You’re in IT but don’t know how to pivot
✅ You have no experience but want to learn cybersecurity
✅ You’ve heard of RMF but still don’t get what it is or where to start
This is the blueprint I wish I had when I started.
I walk you through what RMF is, how federal contracting works, what roles you can go after, and how to position yourself—even with a non-technical background.
💻 If you're serious about breaking into this space, start here:
👉 www.rmfacademy.io/products/digital_downloads/unloc…
The eBook is free. The insight is real.
Now it’s on you to make the move.
