More information is on the event’s website, which says:

The Cislunar Security Conference (CLSC), hosted annually by APL, is the premier opportunity for U.S. stakeholders to discuss new and evolving critical challenges in the cislunar domain.

In 2022, the United States Office of Science and Technology Policy released the National Cislunar Science & Technology Strategy, stating that the U.S. will lead the world in responsible, peaceful, and sustainable exploration and utilization of Cislunar space, including the Moon. Since then, there has been an unprecedented drive to cislunar space, with private companies and foreign nations attempting to land rovers on the Moon’s surface and sending satellites into complex cislunar orbits. 

This year’s conference will highlight security challenges associated with this increasing exploration and utilization of the cislunar regime and promote dialogue on solutions to these challenges. U.S. citizenship is required to participate in this event.
