Upcoming GovExec Events
Fraud is evolving rapidly as attackers harness new technologies, coordinated tactics, and increasingly sophisticated identity schemes. For agencies responsible for protecting public services, benefit programs, and digital access, the challenge is no longer just detecting fraud—it’s keeping pace with a threat landscape that is becoming faster, more organized, and harder to see.
In this episode of GovExec TV, federal leaders will join industry experts to examine how fraud patterns are changing and what organizations can do to stay ahead. The discussion will explore emerging risks, why traditional detection methods are being tested, and how government and industry can work together to strengthen defenses and protect the integrity of digital services.
As agencies continue to modernize their cloud environments, the FedRAMP ecosystem is entering a new phase. With the emergence of early authorizations through the FedRAMP 20x initiative, agencies are beginning to operationalize a model centered on automation, machine-readable authorization packages, and a growing trust network across government. Together, these shifts are reshaping how agencies evaluate, adopt, and share secure cloud capabilities, creating the potential to move at speeds that traditional authorization models could not support
This year’s summit will focus on the leaders and practitioners driving this next stage of adoption. Sessions will explore how agencies are integrating machine-readable authorization packages into their security processes, building trust frameworks that enable authorization reuse, and putting automation into practice after years of groundwork across the federal cybersecurity community.
Now in its eighth year, GovForward's Carahsoft Summit on FedRAMP brings together federal, state, and local government leaders alongside industry experts to explore the policies, technologies, and operational shifts shaping secure cloud adoption. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive roundtables, attendees will gain practical insights into streamlining the Authority to Operate process, advancing cloud security, and preparing for the next era of authorization in the federal enterprise.

This regional event brings together state, local, and higher education (SLED) leaders to explore how modern cloud platforms and Agentic AI empower organizations to break down data silos and transform service delivery. Today, secure cloud systems act as autonomous agents that can independently execute complex workflows on behalf of residents, students, researchers, and public servants.
Through hands-on exercises, real-world use cases from leading municipalities, and insights from top research departments and universities, this event will prove that AI is a measurable driver of speed, reliability, and resilience. Attendees will discover how cross-sector collaboration and enterprise-grade AI can accelerate mission outcomes, strengthen cybersecurity, and build unprecedented public trust across civic and academic communities.

Modernizing the nation’s digital and physical infrastructure is essential for a resilient, citizen-centric government. This forum will explore legacy system upgrades, ERP implementations, interagency IT integration, e-government strategies, and DevSecOps adoption. Experts will share how agencies are enhancing infrastructure resilience, advancing digital engagement, and adopting agile approaches to modernization—laying the foundation for long-term operational agility and public trust.
Where mission meets moonshot: Architecting what's next.
The Google Public Sector Summit bridges the gap between ambitious innovation and secure, scaled execution. Tailored for leaders, creators, coders, and builders, the event focuses on moving organizations beyond AI pilots and experimentation into fully deployed, mission-ready realities. By leveraging a secure, integrated AI stack—encompassing everything from planet-scale infrastructure to leading models and agentic platforms—attendees will learn how to safely navigate and thrive in the emerging agentic era.
Rather than just offering inspiration, the Summit provides practical, hands-on experience and personalized programming. Attendees will collaborate with Google Public Sector to walk away with an actionable, customized blueprint and action plan. This ensures your organization is fully equipped with the skills and strategy needed to architect what’s next and confidently turn your highest "moonshot" aspirations into operational successes.
