According to Mandiant’s M-Trends 2026 report, exploits remain one of the most common entry points for adversaries, while attackers are increasingly targeting edge and core network devices. These devices can create significant blind spots because they often cannot support traditional endpoint security tools, giving threat actors an opportunity to establish persistence and move deeper into an environment. Join your Bay Area public sector peers and security leadership for an exclusive, in-person discussion focused on information sharing and collaborative defense. Together, we'll explore how today's sophisticated threat actors target interconnected infrastructure from cloud and IT environments down to edge devices, OT and IoT — and how local teams can coordinate to close the gaps across our regional landscape.

Agentic AI represents a major shift in how technology is used in government. Unlike traditional AI tools that generate information or recommendations, AI agents can take action — reviewing documents, initiating workflows, coordinating tasks and helping deliver services with minimal human intervention.
As states and local governments begin exploring these capabilities, policymakers face a new challenge: How do you govern a digital workforce that can act autonomously while maintaining public trust, accountability and transparency?
Join government leaders and AI experts for a practical discussion of the six questions every elected official should ask before deploying agentic AI. From oversight and governance to public transparency, workforce impacts and cross-agency collaboration, this webinar will provide a framework for evaluating opportunities, managing risks and developing policies that encourage innovation while protecting residents.
Attendees will learn:
- The key differences between generative AI and agentic AI
- Why AI agents require a new approach to governance and oversight
- The six critical questions policymakers should ask before approving agentic AI initiatives
- How leading states and local governments are balancing innovation, risk and public trust
- Practical strategies for creating adaptable policies in a rapidly evolving technology landscape
Whether you are a legislator, mayor, county commissioner, city council member or executive leader, this session will help you prepare for the next phase of AI in government.

Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies face unprecedented operational pressure, balancing historic case volumes and multi-layered regulatory frameworks with high-stakes decisions like foster care assignments and benefits distribution. Traditional administrative workflows struggle to keep pace without increasing compliance risks or impacting client outcomes. Join Google Public Sector, Daston and Carahsoft for an executive webinar demonstrating how a custom Gemini Enterprise Agent transforms complex public sector decision-support into a fast, compliant and human-centered workflow. By pairing Google Gemini Enterprise with Google BigQuery, Daston converts dense policy manuals into real-time, data-backed operational scoring models that empower caseworkers rather than replacing them.

Get ready for a unique, hands-on experience with Google's Security Operations Platform. Our Capture the Flag (CTF) event is designed to move beyond presentations and demos, allowing you to dive deep into the technology in a fun, gamified and competitive environment. This is your chance to test-drive the integrated SecOps platform, solve real-world security challenges and see firsthand how Google SecOps can empower your team. |

In the rush to innovate, well-intentioned employees may deploy DIY chatbots and generative AI tools. While these tools promise efficiency, they can expose public sector organizations to significant data leakage and compliance risks.
Join Google Public Sector, SHI and Wiz for a critical look at how AI emerges in government environments, illustrated by real-world incidents such as city staff pasting sensitive resident data into chatbots and breaches caused by agentic AI with unchecked access. Our experts will break down the hidden dangers of AI, and show you how to protect your agency with secure development practices, robust access controls, and comprehensive AI governance frameworks.
Key Takeaways:
- Real examples of AI-driven data leaks and breaches in the public sector
- How to detect and mitigate risks from AI and chatbots
- Best practices for secure AI development and deployment
- Building effective access controls and governance with SHI, Google, and Wiz
- Q&A with security and AI governance experts

Most AI career tools give students generic advice. They do not know which courses your institution offers, when your career fair closes or what a specific student has already done. Google AI for Careers does. Built by Google Public Sector's Rapid Innovation Team and delivered by ClearObject, a Google Cloud Premier Partner, it links a student's skills and interests, your course catalog and campus calendar and the O*NET occupational taxonomy into a single reasoning layer that guides the student from exploring careers to building a plan, preparing and applying.
Join Google Public Sector, ClearObject and Carahsoft, along with the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC), as we follow one undecided student through the live product from start to finish. We’ll also explore how CCAC is putting the platform in front of its Mechatronics students this fall. Google AI for Careers is a new guidance layer, not a replacement for your career services management system or job network, and we’ll be direct about where it fits alongside the tools you already use. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about institutional data, security review and procurement.
During this webinar, attendees will see:
- How a living profile is built from a student’s interests, experience and coursework and how each later interaction, from advisor chat to career exploration to interview practice, sharpens it
- How career exploration reasons over the O*NET taxonomy and beyond it, with generated pathways mapped to your actual degree programs, certifications and campus deadlines rather than a generic checklist
- How AI mock interviews provide graded, candid feedback along with resume and cover letter support tied to a target role and how the platform fits alongside the job board and career services system you already use
- What a real deployment looks like, including how CCAC stands up a branded instance for its Mechatronics program with no SIS or LMS integration and what students, staff and leadership see

State and local agencies have spent years expanding digital access through online portals, web forms and self-service tools, yet residents still encounter dead ends, abandon applications, make repeat office visits and spend valuable time waiting on hold for support. The result is what many agencies experience as a service completion gap: services are easy to find, but often difficult to finish.
Join Google Public Sector, TTEC Digital, Botcopy and Carahsoft for a discussion on how agencies are reducing friction across common resident, business and employee journeys. We'll explore practical approaches for improving service delivery, streamlining operations, and identifying opportunities to modernize high-volume services without starting from scratch.
- Why residents abandon applications and self-service processes
- Which agency services offer the greatest opportunity for modernization and efficiency gains
- How agencies are improving completion rates, satisfaction and operational performance
- How to get started with AI-powered service improvements using the systems you already have
