Public sector finance teams are entrusted with making consequential spending decisions, such as funding infrastructure, public safety, education and healthcare. Operating under constant scrutiny, every dollar is public record and every misstep can become a headline. The systems these finance teams are handed, a patchwork of legacy tools, were built to record spend, not control spend.
Introducing Ramp for the Public Sector, delivered via Carahsoft’s contract vehicle, empowering government finance teams with the controls, automation and compliance (FedRAMP, U.S.-only) to make every dollar count.
Join us for a complimentary webinar to see why over 1,600 public sector teams trust Ramp for:
Expense Management Automation: Saving federal finance teams 5+ hours per week
Real-Time Spend Visibility: Eliminating manual data entry and speeds up fiscal year close
Streamlined Procurement Workflows: Reducing voucher processing time by 50%
FedRAMP-Authorized Controls: Ensuring FTR compliance without added workload
Security teams drowning in scan results often see two problems: noise from false positives and excessive manual work fixing the real findings.
In this two-day series, we'll walk through GitLab Duo Agent Platform's security flows from detection to merge before diving into a hands-on lab. This series is designed to leave you with a clear picture of how to reduce alert fatigue and cut the time from finding to fix.
In part one, we'll show how the platform automatically flags a likely false positive on a SAST finding before following a vulnerability through automatic remediation with a quality score reviewers can use to validate before merging. In part two, we’ll work in a live sandbox to dismiss a false positive and walk a genuine finding through to an auto-generated merge request.

AI success is often isolated, limited to pilot efforts that tackle one specific challenge or workflow. AI pilots are most focused on getting the technology right; implementing an enterprisewide AI strategy requires alignment across leadership, workforce, procurement, and mission teams, though definitions of success, ownership, and ROI remain unclear.
How agencies can move beyond the isolated success in a pilot and achieve similar results across their organizations is more a strategic challenge than a technical one. It requires shifting from a use case to capability, from technology experiment to an operational effort, by prioritizing scalable infrastructure, robust data governance, and change management.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify organizational and work culture barriers that need to be addressed
- Review your agency’s budget and procurement activities to ensure funding is available as scaling up takes place
- Delineate your agency’s automation and AI priorities to maximize both effectiveness and impact
Today’s advanced 5G networks are the essential first step to create an intelligent digital fabric. They provide higher upload speeds and open network interfaces for developers to use. They also make networks more programmable and easier to automate.
While the future may be 6G, investments made today into building out 5G and 5G standalone (5G SA) networks will not be stranded; they enable AI apps today and will be incorporated into the rollout of 6G tomorrow.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the system requirements to incorporate ISAC into your agency’s edge devices
- Delineate steps to maximize AI use in ISAC-enabled networks, including assessment of available databases and their cleanliness
- Determine what additional information needs to be gathered to utilize ISAC capabilities

Thought leaders from government and industry discuss how several innovative trends are combining to change the way agencies deliver services
Innovation Summit 2026 – AI Dominates the Landscape
ChatGPT was officially released by OpenAI on November 30, 2022, launched as a free public research preview. It quickly became one of the fastest-growing technology products in history and accelerated the release of competing generative AI platforms across the market.
Federal agencies are following directives such as the Office of Management and Budget’s “Accelerating Federal Use of AI through Innovation, Governance, and Public Trust.” According to the Federal Agency Artificial Intelligence Use Case Inventory, 56 federal agencies reported AI use cases at all stages of development. It shows that the number of submitted use cases rose from 1,757 in 2024 to 3,611 in 2025 – of which 1,818 have been deployed or piloted.
Learning Objectives:
- Scale AI from pilot programs to enterprise adoption
- Build governance, security, and Zero Trust frameworks for AI
- Strengthen workforce readiness, change management, and mission measurement
- Modernize data, infrastructure, and legacy environments for AI workloads
- Improve resilience across hybrid, multi-cloud, edge, and distributed operations
- Address emerging AI threats, security risks, and operational challenges
