Events We Are Sponsoring
Most federal agencies are moving to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into their systems and processes, in part as a response to Executive Order 14110, issued in 2023, for the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AI, and in part because AI promises productivity gains and cost savings.
As expected with an innovative new technology, so far agencies have been experimenting with pilot programs, rather than enterprise-wide initiatives. They are wrestling with several challenges to scaling up their pilots, such as poor data quality, governance and compliance obstacles, integration hurdles, and lack of dedicated budgets.
Learning Objectives:
- Define metrics for ROI, productivity, and social benefit
- Draw from case studies that discuss moving from pilots to scaled implementations
- Outline lessons learned from practical deployment of AI across the private sector

The Ultimate Cybersecurity Executive Experience.
- 140+ CISO Attendees from enterprise organizations across industries.
- 3 Days of focused engagement, exclusive networking, and cutting-edge technology.
- 10+ Hours of peer-led sessions, panels, and workshops tackling the most pressing challenges facing CISOs today.
As agencies move to incorporate AI tools throughout their organizations, many are finding that AI without orchestration creates new silos. The agencies that lead will not be the ones with the most AI tools, but the ones that deploy AI safely, at scale, with auditability and human oversight built into every action.
Creating a single “front door” for AI users can help make sure the AI is working for government employees, not the other way around. By creating AI “specialists” that can execute entire jobs from beginning to end, public servants can be freed up to take the work that requires judgment and empathy. This twin path to completing work assignments compresses time-to-value and provides faster outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Outline considerations for defining the line where an ‘AI Specialist’ can own a task versus where a human must intervene
- Evaluate ways to build human oversight into every autonomous action at a mission scale
- Identify steps to accelerate implementation to reap the benefits of faster time-to-value

Equipping your teams with the right digital tools is one of the fastest ways to remove friction, streamline daily tasks, and boost overall productivity. But with so many solutions emerging, it can be tough to know which ones will actually make a measurable impact.
Join us on Wednesday, April 22 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT for an energizing session on practical, real‑world ways technology can help government teams collaborate better, stay organized, and focus on mission‑critical work.
You'll learn:
- Simple, tactical steps to help your workforce get more done with less effort.
- How to identify the tools that will drive the greatest value.
- Easy ways to measure whether new technologies are improving workflow and employee experience.
Federal agencies are under relentless pressure to modernize their security posture as they face an onslaught of new, enhanced threats – from hostile nation-states, criminal networks, and hackers determined to stir up trouble.
The path forward starts with three proven principles: Least Privilege Access, which blocks users from gaining entry to data and software they are not allowed to use; Zero Trust architectures, designed to “never trust, always identify;” and microsegmentation, which allows networks to be blockaded into very small sections that can be walled off from the overall network.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to align these three strategies with required mandates
- Outline a practical roadmap for implementation across your agency’s infrastructure
- Delineate the ways these approaches strengthen your agency’s cyber defenses from the inside out
Equipping teams with the right digital tools quickly reduces friction, streamlines tasks, and boosts productivity—but with so many options, it’s hard to know which will truly make an impact.

Federal agencies are moving quickly with AI pilots — but experimentation must evolve into secure, governed, mission-aligned execution. Articles about AI “hallucinations” including fictitious legal citations and quotes demonstrate the risks of using legal AI tools without appropriate context and human review.
Legal and regulatory teams can transition from proof of concept to production-ready AI workflows that are defensible, auditable, and aligned with federal mandates. Embedding governance, human oversight, and measurable value into AI initiatives, without increasing operational risk — is achievable and offers a clear path to streamlining legal operations.
Learning Objectives:
- Delineate where in the legal process your agency wants to make use of legal AI tools
- Outline the known problems found with AI legal tools (e.g., false case law citations) and the steps needed to protect against them
- Identify the regulatory frameworks within which your agency’s legal AI will operate and lay out the steps to incorporate their guidelines

Cybersecurity is always a volatile topic – new threats, new approaches to defense, emerging new attack surfaces. The emergence of AI as a commercially viable technology introduces new considerations, including growing recognition that it substantially increases the need for risk management.
The cyber cold war between U.S. agencies and hostile interests – from criminals to nation-states – has entered a new phase with the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI), which has emerged as a true two-edged sword in the conflict. AI can be a powerful tool in cyber defense, but it will have to be used against AI-driven cyber attacks.
Another defense against AI is the concept of Zero Trust; it is the basis of federal policy mandating that agencies adopt ZT architectures. Today, however, the premise must be expanded to include supply chain security. And the need for stronger, more comprehensive cybersecurity must extend to include U.S. critical infrastructure – another way that the cyber attack surface is expanding.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify where new AI tools can reinforce existing cyber defenses
- Examine how to protect data privacy within an AI-enabled system
- Evaluate your software supply chain to determine how and where to implement zero trust requirements
- Delineate the elements of a universally applied ZT architecture, including identities, accounts, assets, resources, authentication, behavior, and data
- Review your agency’s operations to locate where OT is used and conduct risk assessments to determine corrective measures
In today’s zero trust world, federal systems integrators (FSIs) operate in some of the most complex environments—distributed workforces, partner connectivity, subcontractors, and teams supporting multiple agencies with different requirements. That complexity makes it harder to ensure the right users have the right access to the right application without relying on broad network trust.
A modern approach pairs strong identity signals with application-level access enforcement and continuous verification after login. This helps SIs reduce over-privileged access, limit lateral movement, and improve auditability—while enabling secure collaboration across employees, subcontractors, and mission partners.
Learning Objectives:
- Outline the value and benefits of integrated, real-time enforcement of both identity and access control
- Define post-login risk in and how continuous verification helps to counter it
- Recognize how identity and security are evolving as AI becomes embedded across your organization—and as AI agents and other non-human identities emerge in your systems
- Review your organization’s audibility, data control, and third-party/supply chain exposure
Microsegmentation is a critical security strategy for state and local law enforcement agencies aiming to comply with the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy. This policy mandates strict security, encryption, and access controls for protecting sensitive Criminal Justice Information (CJI).
The security policy ensures that law enforcement agencies and their partners securely manage biometric, biographical, and case data throughout its lifecycle. Microsegmentation helps meet stringent requirements for controlling access to Criminal Justice Information (CJI) by breaking networks into small, secure zones to restrict lateral movement of threats. Key aspects of microsegmentation for CJIS compliance include limiting “east-west” movement between systems; implementing Zero Trust architectures; and automating the classification of protected assets and creating dynamic security policies.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the connection between microsegmentation and zero trust architecture in protecting and monitoring “need-to-know” access to CJI
- Evaluate how automated policy generation protects both compliance and operational stability
- Define the role of microsegmentation in protecting high-value assets, such as database servers containing sensitive information such as biographic, biometric, or case report data
Almost all (95%) government agency leaders at all levels say they plan to invest in emerging technologies over the next five years, including generative AI (35%), yet only a fraction achieve measurable and sustainable service improvements.
Part of the challenge is reexamining the metrics used to track improvements in customer service (CX); after all, what is measured should change depending on whether government customers are being assisted by human agents or agentic agents.
Learning Objectives:
- Develop actionable strategies for leveraging analytics and advanced technology integration
- Translate digital initiatives into sustained improvements in stakeholder engagement, transparency, and service reliability
- Navigate legislative mandates and rapidly changing policies with confidence, aligning program delivery with measurable agency goals
