Case study
Quantum USA
18 June 2026 Washington D.C., USA
Event Overview
Quantum USA brought together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and technology experts to explore what a comprehensive U.S. quantum strategy should look like in the years ahead. Discussions spanned governance and investment, supply chain resilience, workforce development, international collaboration, real-world applications of quantum computing, and the growing urgency of post-quantum cybersecurity.
Artificial intelligence and quantum science remains at the forefront of U.S. federal research and development priorities. As policymakers refine the next phase of national quantum policy, critical questions emerged around how to build a coherent strategy that strengthened the quantum ecosystem, accelerated commercialization, and ensured long-term technological leadership.
Quantum technologies continue to transition from theoretical research to operational reality, rapidly becoming central to economic competitiveness, national security, and scientific leadership. With global investment accelerating and technological competition intensifying, the window for the United States to secure a durable advantage is narrowing.

Testimonials
“I just had to write and tell you how much Quantum USA meant to me. It was genuinely one of the best-run events I’ve ever been part of. Everything went off without a single hitch, and you could feel the attention to detail in all of it: how the sessions were built, how the panels actually flowed, and how easy you made it for people to find each other and connect. That’s so much harder to pull off than people realize, and you made it look effortless. It really stuck with me. I was still turning the conversations over in my head days afterward, which is honestly the highest compliment I can give an event.”
