Join AIM, OrbitalFire, and FuzeHub on March 18th for an exclusive half-day, in-person workshop in Utica designed specifically for smaller manufacturers in the DoD supply chain who are tired of the fear, the noise, and the conflicting advice, and just want to know what actually needs to get done.

We’ll cut through the hype to explain:
• What CMMC really requires (and what it doesn’t)
• Where manufacturers typically get stuck
• What “being ready” realistically looks like at different stages
From there, we’ll get practical:
• How manufacturers are paying for CMMC (grants, budgeting strategies, and common mistakes)
• Who you actually need involved, and who you don’t, to move forward without chaos
• How to avoid overbuying tools, overengineering solutions, or trusting the wrong advice
