Leading SLG Innovation: AI, Network Modernization & Public Safety

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping state and local government, from emergency response and higher education to administrative agency workflows. However, power intensive AI tools require more than software; they demand modern, low-latency, and a secure network infrastructure capable of handling unprecedented data surges.

Join an exclusive group of State and Local Government leaders (IT Directors, CIOs, Agency Heads, and Elected/Appointed Officials) for a candid, peer-level exchange. Grounded in proven executive frameworks, this session bridges the gap between public policy, strategic budgeting, and modern network realities.

What We'll Discuss

• Mission-Critical Operations & Public Safety: Leveraging AI, drone feeds, and real-time data for disaster response and why public safety AI demands higher network reliability than routine government workflows.
• Handling "AI Burst" Traffic: Moving beyond legacy networks built for static traffic to handle massive, real-time AI data spikes without crashing core services.
• Cybersecurity, Sandboxing & Privacy: Securing data in motion, isolating AI applications to mitigate risk, and maintaining constituent trust.
• Budgeting & Workforce Leadership: Aligning executive leadership and IT to fund network modernization, upskill staff, and drive AI adoption across higher-ed and state/local agencies.
