Organizations across education and government are under increasing pressure to modernize operations, leverage AI and make faster, more informed decisions—yet critical data often remains fragmented across siloed systems. Join Tableau and Carahsoft for a practical conversation on how organizations can transform disconnected data into trusted, actionable insights through a three-stage approach: Unlock, Trust and Activate. Hear from leaders and current customers about how they are connecting data across legacy and modern systems, building a foundation of trusted information and turning insights into action. Explore real-world approaches to challenges ranging from improving student and citizen outcomes to streamlining staff workflows, identifying emerging trends and optimizing resources. K-12 Data Transformation by Tableau:
|
- Techniques to gather summarize, draft, translate and organize
- Improve accuracy and consistency through simple prompting framework
- How to tailor ChatGPT to benefit your unique role
Critical insights can be buried across thousands of documents, dashboards and disconnected data sources, making it difficult for federal teams to identify risks and act on information when it matters most. Join Tableau and Cohere to explore how secure AI and analytics can bring structured and unstructured data together, uncover relationships and surface potential risks faster. Using supply chain risk management (SCRM) as a real-world use case, attendees will see how to:
The session will use SCRM to demonstrate how these capabilities can be applied to complex federal data environments where information is spread across multiple sources and formats. |

Most post-quantum planning focuses on the data an attacker could steal today and decrypt years from now. That's only half the exposure. The other half is what happens when the same capability lets someone reproduce a signature, issue a certificate your systems trust or sign code your infrastructure installs without question. Call it harvest now, forge later.

The federal mandate for AI integration is an active operational requirement, but rushing to deploy advanced algorithms within a fragmented legacy IT infrastructure creates profound systemic risks, data leakage vectors, and governance vulnerabilities.
Agencies, both at the federal level and in state and local government, carry the burden of data silos, legacy hardware, and a highly distributed workforce, which combine to create severe risk profiles — such as the accidental exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and understand the elements of institutional oversight required by OMB memorandum M-25-21 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework
- Build a plan for IT and data architecture modernization
- Determine where you can introduce low-risk AI capabilities and services to your workforce

OCUDU (Open Centralized Unit/Distributed Unit) is a collaborative initiative and open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation, aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of 5G and 6G Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN).
OCUDU (Open Centralized Unit/Distributed Unit) is a collaborative initiative and open-source project hosted by the Linux Foundation, aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of 5G and 6G Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN). It provides a common, carrier-grade, open-source software foundation for the CU and DU layers, which are critical components of radio access networks.
The intent of OCUDU is to break vendor lock-in and accelerate the transition from proprietary, hardware-locked RAN systems to software-defined, open ecosystems. It is considered an essential building block to prepare for a 6G-enabled world. The General Services Administration reported last year that the target for establishing 6G as the commercial standard is 2030, because it will require research, innovation, and international agreement on new interoperability standards.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the components and processes that comprise Open RAN systems
- Evaluate your agency’s systems and the groundwork that can be done now to prepare for open source hardware

Recent compromises of municipal water systems, including attacks targeting internet-connected programmable logic controllers and remote cellular modems, have highlighted the evolving cyberthreat landscape facing state and local utilities. Similar risks extend across operational technology environments supporting water, power and other essential public services.
Protecting these systems requires more than securing individual devices or networks. A defense-in-depth approach can help utilities control interactions across converged IT and operational technology environments, limit lateral movement and prevent a compromise in one system from spreading to other mission-critical technology.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify Utility Infrastructure Risks: Examine common attack vectors and lateral movement paths across water, power and related operational technology environments.
- Strengthen IT/OT Defenses: Explore ways to map dependencies, improve visibility and apply OT-safe microsegmentation and Zero Trust controls to sensitive systems.
- Improve Resilience and Compliance: Learn how automated containment can help maintain operations during an incident while supporting alignment with federal cybersecurity guidance and performance goals.
At Elastic{ON}, you'll connect with experts and the
community, gain hands-on experience, and learn how to turn AI opportunities
into real-world search, observability, and security solutions. Discover how the
Elasticsearch Platform powers real-time AI agents to accelerate incident and
threat response.
Who is this for?
For leaders who are past the pilot and into the harder question: what does it actually take to run AI at the center of the business, not the edge of it. If you're accountable for how your organization moves from experimenting with AI to depending on it, this conversation is built for you.What's in it for you?
Why is this different?
This isn't a product showcase, it's a working session for leaders navigating the same transformation you are.
Google covers where the industry is headed: the shift to an agentic enterprise and what it demands of the platform beneath it.
Strategy covers the layer that rarely gets boardroom attention until it stalls a transformation: the semantic layer that lets people and agents work from one true definition of the business. We'll also clarify terms the industry keeps blurring — ontology, knowledge graph, context layer, semantic layer — and what each is for. The rest of the afternoon is peer conversation, not a lecture.
