Participants will gain practical experience with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and leave with actionable strategies for reducing repetitive manual tasks, accelerating response times and improving consistency across mission-critical operations.
Accessibility requirements continue to shape how organizations create, publish and distribute digital content. While accessibility is often viewed as a compliance exercise, its true impact is far broader, affecting how millions of people interact with information every day. Following the extension of recent compliance deadlines, many organizations have understandably shifted focus toward other priorities. However, accessibility initiatives often require significant planning, content remediation, process changes and organizational buy-in, making early preparation critical to long-term success.
Join our complimentary webinar for a practical, high-level discussion on accessibility fundamentals. We'll explore the history of accessibility legislation, why accessibility matters from both a human and organizational perspective and how accessibility extends far beyond PDFs into websites, videos, applications, physical spaces and everyday experiences. We'll also demonstrate several simple accessibility improvements that anyone can begin implementing immediately, including creating meaningful, alternative text and improving document structure.
Specifically, attendees of this webinar will:
- Understand what accessibility is and who benefits from accessible content
- Learn the history and evolution of accessibility legislation and compliance requirements
- Explore the human impact of accessibility and the real-world challenges inaccessible content can create
- See how accessibility extends beyond PDFs into websites, multimedia, applications and the broader world around us
- Learn practical ways to make immediate improvements without becoming an accessibility expert

In this webinar, we'll cover:
- Why a next-gen program goes beyond email phishing to simulate the attacks employees actually face: deepfakes, vishing and smishing
- What effective security training looks like from the employee's perspective and why it matters for outcomes
- How automated simulations, risk scoring and remediation work together in a program that runs itself

Government, industry and academia are actively using new or modifying existing digital technologies to assist with changes, improvements, and efficiencies in operation of the business processes, meet customer demands, utilize automation to reduce many manual work processes while improving productivity, and enable these tools to reach a wider audience by reducing geographic barriers. Digital Transformation can improve operational efficiencies, provide more agility and flexibility in day-to-day activities, enable opportunities to grow and expand, and provide new value, satisfaction, and benefit for not only the staff but also the customers and shareholders. Many have dubbed "Digital Transformation as Reimagining How we do Business”.
Digital Transformation needs strong leadership with a clear vision and the willing support of staff to make the needed transition. Another key element of Digital Transformation is understanding what technology is capable of doing and how an agency or organization can make the most use of that technology investment.
This Summit will focus on where Digital Transformation is today, how it has been used to transition to new innovative technologies, and how it has improved overall performance. This event will also include an international element to hear how other countries have utilized digital technologies successfully.

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
