From AI Hype to Government-Ready Innovation: Balancing Speed, Security and Scale

Generative AI is changing how organizations build applications, modernize services and respond to evolving policy requirements. But as AI-assisted development — or "vibe coding" — makes it easier than ever to create new solutions, state and local agencies must identify how they can innovate quickly without compromising security, compliance or long-term sustainability.

Join industry experts for a live discussion on what it takes to move beyond AI experimentation and build enterprise-ready solutions.

Our speakers will dive into:

  • How AI-assisted development is transforming public sector IT
  • Where vibe coding can accelerate innovation and where it introduces risk
  • Why governance, compliance and security remain essential in an AI-driven development model
  • Practical strategies for balancing rapid innovation with scalable, resilient enterprise systems

Whether your agency is exploring generative AI or looking to mature its AI strategy, this session will provide practical guidance for adopting AI responsibly while delivering better outcomes for the communities you serve. Attendees can receive a complimentary certificate of attendance after the discussion.
