Upcoming GovExec Events
Government leaders are under enormous pressure to do more with less. Amid policy shifts, federal memos linking budget planning to performance outcomes, and the rapid adoption of new technologies such as AI and automation, agencies must rethink how they plan, budget, and operate.
The Government Efficiency Summit will showcase how these policies and initiatives are playing out across the government. Sessions will provide examples of agencies using technology to improve mission outcomes and improve government service delivery; highlight actual examples of AI in action at scale across government; discuss new rules of engagement for acquisition; and reveal insights from federal, state, and local leaders.
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.
