🐦‍⬛ Quoth the Raven… network more! 🥃🕯️

And that’s exactly what we did!

Last night, Cyber Brews took over The Blind Raven for an evening of candlelight, cocktails, a little mystery, and a whole lot of great conversations!

No panels. No PowerPoints. Just familiar faces, new connections, and an incredible group of people spending their Wednesday evening with us. 🖤💜

A little love for those who helped make the magic happen:

🥃 Stephanie Casey & Deltek for sponsoring The Raven’s Round and keeping the spirits flowing!

🐦‍⬛ Angela Panzica Angela Panzica & The Blind Tiger team for the amazing hospitality and unforgettable atmosphere!

🧀 Honey Box Catering Honey Box Charcuterie for the delicious bites!

💡 Five Stones Research Corporation, our Mission Critical Corporate Partner, for continuing to support our community!

And to everyone who joined us, thank you for showing up, bringing your energy, and making the evening so much fun!

Sometimes all it takes is a cocktail, a conversation, and the right people in the room. 🥂

Great conversations. Bold ideas. Lasting connections.

Until we meet again…

Nevermore? Nah. Network more! 🐦‍⬛

This one feels pretty special. ❤️ Cyber Brews has been named a contender for the 2026 Woman-Owned Business of the Year!

So proud of what we’ve built, incredibly grateful for everyone who has been part of it, and excited to celebrate with our Huntsville small business community in November. 🥂

Still kind of surreal to see our name on this list!

This October, Cyber Brews is heading into The Blind Raven for a networking night with a little Poe-inspired twist. 🕯️🥃

Think candlelight, cocktails, ravens, and one seriously cool atmosphere.

No panels.
No presentations.
Definitely no PowerPoints. 😂

Just great conversations, bold ideas, and lasting connections with people from across Huntsville’s cyber, defense, government, technology, and business communities.

What a night, Huntsville! 🍻🧠

We had an incredible time kicking off Cyber Week with a packed house, great conversations, new connections, and plenty of familiar faces.

There’s something special about getting our cyber and defense community together in one room with no presentations and no agenda. Just an opportunity to connect, catch up, meet someone new, and enjoy the evening.

A huge thank you to our co-presenting sponsors Cloudflare and Chainguard, our community sponsors Velocity1 and Trustmark, and our media sponsor Advance Defense Tech for helping us make the evening possible.

And thank you to everyone who spent part of a very busy Cyber Week with us. We loved seeing you!

Until the next mind meld. 🍻

It takes a community. 💙🚀

As we prepare to welcome everyone to the inaugural 2026 CMMC in Practice Forum, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible sponsors and partners who helped make it possible.

From our Title Sponsor and Gold and Silver Sponsors to the organizations supporting our media, meals, networking breaks, attendee bags, Wi-Fi, lanyards, and community outreach, every partnership has helped us build the experience we envisioned.

Our goal was to create something different: a Forum focused on practical conversations, diverse perspectives, real-world implementation, and meaningful connections across the CMMC ecosystem and Defense Industrial Base.

Tomorrow, we finally get to bring it all together. ❤️

To every organization that invested in this event, shared our mission, supported our attendees, and believed in what Cyber Brews was building:

Thank you. We couldn’t do this without you.
