CMMC Accelerate 2026
2026-03-31
CMMC compliance isn’t failing because teams aren’t trying. It’s failing where scope, access, and accountability collide. At CMMC Accelerate 2026, you’ll hear directly from organizations navigating mobile access, audit scope, legal exposure, and operational risk across the Defense Industrial Base.
Gar Whaley, Teal cofounder & CRO, will be on-site and welcomes conversations with defense contractors who want to discuss creating a defensible path to Level 2 readiness.
Teal CMMC is a subsidiary brand engineered specifically for DIB contractors operating under concrete regulatory scrutiny, where accountability, scope definition, and evidence traceability matter.
If you’re balancing CUI access across mobile users, reducing audit surprises, or tightening exposure before assessments begin, connect with Gar at the event and compare notes on what “defensible” looks like in practice.
You’ll leave with sharper questions for your MSP, consultant, and IT team, and a clearer sense of how assessors interpret boundary decisions and executive responsibility.

AI Bootcamp 2026
2026-04-08 - 2026-04-09
AI initiatives fail most often when organizations move too fast – adopting tools before validating whether they are appropriate, governable, or defensible in the first place. The Pax8 AI Bootcamp is designed to slow that rush, focusing instead on the frameworks required for responsible and intentional adoption inside of businesses and nonprofits.
Teal cofounders, Gar Whaley and Reid Johnston, will be on site to deepen their understanding of how leaders should evaluate AI opportunities. The bootcamp emphasizes structured assessment across business value, user experience, and technical readiness, along with determining the appropriate level of intervention and recognizing when the right decision is to not use AI at all.
This perspective matters for Teal’s clients. As pressure mounts to “do something with AI” or risk falling behind, organizations increasingly need advisors who can help separate viable opportunities from unnecessary risk, balancing innovation with:

Governance

Accountability

Longterm impact

Equal Justice Conference 2026
2026-05-14 - 2026-05-16
Teal is proud to sponsor the 2026 ABA/NLADA Equal Justice Conference – a national gathering of nonprofit legal aid and public defense organizations working to strengthen systems, partnerships, and outcomes for communities in need.
In its 28th year, the event brings together legal services and pro bono advocates from across the country to share developments and innovations in serving people with low income. The conference emphasizes strengthening partnerships across the civil justice system through plenary sessions, hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, and special programming.
Events like EJC 2026 create space for nonprofit leaders to share helpful insights, learn from peers, and advance their work.
Teal’s roots are deeply connected to this community. Our first client was a nonprofit, and that foundation drives our commitment to building trusted partnerships and giving back to the organizations doing some of the hardest work.
We’re proud to give back to the nonprofit sector by supporting organizations and events that prioritize sustainability, trust, and long-term impact. We’re honored to stand behind EJC 2026 and the leaders working every day to expand access to justice.
