CMMC Grant Summit 2026 — Sponsorship Opportunity
Two online events. One focused audience of small DIB contractors actively researching how to fund and implement CMMC compliance. One fee that covers both.
ABOUT THE SUMMIT
What's actually funded, who qualifies, how to apply. Built for contractors hearing about NCODE, NIST 800-171 Rev. 3, and CMMC for the first time.
From application to award to actual implementation. Pairing funded contractors with the providers who can execute. Built for the follow-through.
WHY IT WORKS
A 15–20 minute slot puts you in front of buyers making CMMC decisions. Present live or pre-record on your schedule. Either way, you are the expert they trust.
Our audience isn't browsing. They're contractors with active DoD work who need a path forward. They show up to make decisions.
Your session is recorded, edited, and redistributed across our newsletter, LinkedIn, and on-demand library months of impressions after the live event.
Cyber Grants Alliance is the neutral navigator. Sponsoring us positions you as the partner of choice not just another vendor in the noise.
Both tiers give you brand visibility with an engaged DIB audience. Presenting Sponsors go further - you speak at both events, get co-marketing rights, and your sessions live on for a full year.

Most marketing dollars buy attention. This one buys association with a mission your buyers already trust. Cyber Grants Alliance exists to help small businesses access real cybersecurity programs - which is exactly the brand small DIB contractors trust most.
Your CMMC Grant Summit session is recorded, edited, and redistributed for a full year. That is 12 months of distribution, not 4 weeks of ad spend.

How many Presenting Sponsor slots are available?
Only four Presenting Sponsor slots are available across both 2026 events. Corporate Sponsor slots are open. Presenting slots are first-come, first-served - reach out early to reserve yours.
Does the Presenting Sponsor fee cover both events?
Yes. The $2,500 Presenting Sponsor fee is a one-time payment that covers speaking slots at both the August 19 and October 21 events, plus all associated promotional benefits.
What format is the speaking slot?
Presenting Sponsors receive a 15-20 minute keynote or demo slot at each event, followed by audience Q&A. Topics are aligned during the onboarding call so your session delivers real value to the audience.
Who will be in the audience?
Small DIB contractors - manufacturers, engineering services firms, defense subcontractors, and MSPs serving the DIB - who have active DoD contracts or are in the bid pipeline and need a path to CMMC compliance.
What happens with the recorded sessions?
Sessions are recorded, lightly edited, and redistributed through CGA's newsletter, LinkedIn, and on-demand library. Presenting Sponsors' recordings carry their branding for a full year of post-event distribution.
Is there flexibility on the speaking topic?
Yes, within reason. Topics should provide genuine value to CMMC compliance decision-makers. We vet talk topics during the onboarding call to ensure they serve the audience - promotional pitches are not permitted.
