Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Cybersecurity Summit + Tech Trailblazers at Big Bend Community College.

We spent the day exploring what it takes to navigate a rapidly changing digital world, from cybersecurity leadership and AI to hacker tactics, ransomware, information literacy, workforce development, and the very human side of cyber risk. Speakers challenged us to think beyond tools and technology and consider how preparation, critical thinking, strong systems, and trusted relationships all contribute to safer organizations and communities.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to close the day than by celebrating our 2026 Digital Access Commitment Makers at the Tech Trailblazers Reception.

These organizations are turning awareness into action through digital skills training, device access, connectivity, inclusive technology programs, and other efforts that help more people fully participate in work, education, healthcare, and everyday life.

To our speakers, partners, sponsors, Commitment Makers, and everyone who showed up ready to learn, connect, and share: thank you for making this day possible.

The conversations may have happened in one room, but the work continues across communities throughout North Central Washington.

Thank you to our partners: Thriving Together NCW | Microsoft | STEM Network | North Central ESD

Big ideas. Commercial-scale ambition. Right here in Moses Lake.

Congratulations to Twelve, a Newcomer in Technology finalist at the 25th Annual Innovator Awards! This award is presented by Central Washington University.

At AirPlant One in Moses Lake, Twelve is bringing a new model of advanced manufacturing into commercial-scale production. Its technology uses CO₂, water, and electricity to produce fuels and chemicals, with this facility serving as the first node in a larger distributed manufacturing platform.

Taking technology from proof of concept to commercial production is a major leap. Twelve’s story highlights that challenge and the potential for North Central Washington to help shape the future of industrial innovation.

Join us in celebrating Twelve’s bold thinking and the new possibilities taking shape in our region!
