On May 8th, 2018, the day began with Federal Agency Critical Infrastructure Sector Meetings. Women were organized according to their industry and conducted meetings with Federal Agencies such as Treasury, Judiciary, FTC, DOT, HHS etc. The purpose of these meetings was for women to both gain a better understanding of how to best interact with the Federal Agencies and to offer their subject matter expertise relative to cybersecurity issues.
