  Topic: CMMC How-To & Best Practices: What Actually Works 
• CMMC is already affecting contracts across the Defense Industrial Base, but many organizations are still working to determine where to start and how to approach it. The challenge is doing so in a way that makes sense for their organization without overcomplicating the process. 
  In this session, Ed Tuorinsky walks through what actually works. He breaks down how security, compliance, and business operations connect, and what organizations need to focus on to move forward in a practical way. 
  This is a straightforward discussion focused on helping you understand where you stand, what matters most, and how to build a realistic path toward CMMC Level 2. 
  Key Takeaways 
  • Understand how CMMC impacts your contracts and business growth 
  • Identify where CUI exists and how to properly scope your environment 
  • Learn how to approach a right-sized, practical self-assessment of your current state 
  • Understand the role of technical, policy, and operational requirements in CMMC 
  • Understand shared responsibility across your team, service providers, and supply chain 
  • Avoid common mistakes that delay or derail CMMC readiness 
  • Walk away with a clear, actionable starting point toward CMMC Level 2
• 815 – 830 PM Closing Remarks & Networking
