Federal News Network�s AI & Data Exchange 2026

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise for federal agencies — it is delivering measurable results today. From improving decision-making to increasing efficiency and preventing waste, fraud and abuse, agencies are moving beyond pilot projects to real-world impact.

At the Defense Department, AI is reshaping logistics and supporting faster, better-informed decisions. Across civilian agencies, AI is boosting employee productivity, modernizing customer experience and helping leaders tackle long-standing operational challenges.

Over two afternoons, April 29–30, Federal News Network’s AI & Data Exchange will examine how agencies are applying the latest AI tools — including generative and agentic AI — to reduce administrative burdens, accelerate data analysis and drive mission outcomes.

Through in-depth conversations with Federal News Network journalists, government and industry leaders will share practical insights on how agencies can:

Integrate AI responsibly and effectively into government workflows.
Prepare and train employees to fully leverage AI-driven tools.
Measure performance and outcomes for evolving AI technologies.
Scale successful AI use cases across programs and agencies.

Join us to explore how federal leaders are turning AI and data into real impact — and what it takes to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide results.
