Tennessee’s public sector is entering a new era of collaboration — one defined by shared data, collective problem-solving, and citizen-centered innovation. Across state and local agencies, leaders are working together to modernize services, strengthen digital trust, and build a more connected government. The Government Innovation Showcase is the must-attend event where this transformation takes center stage. Bringing together government leaders, policymakers, and innovators, the Showcase explores how technology, AI, data, and cybersecurity are redefining how Tennessee serves its citizens while managing risk and ensuring resilience. Attendees will gain practical insights into the strategies driving digital transformation, interagency cooperation, and smarter, faster, more transparent public services.

Through dynamic sessions, real-world case studies, and powerful opportunities for collaboration, the Government Innovation Showcase spotlights the people and ideas powering Tennessee’s digital future. From cybersecurity and data governance to workforce development, risk management, and citizen experience, this event unites leaders who are building the next generation of public service. Join your peers and be part of the movement creating a more innovative, secure, and citizen-centered government for Tennessee.

The shift to hybrid work has reshaped how federal agencies operate, offering new opportunities to enhance flexibility, employee satisfaction, and mission delivery. This panel will explore how agencies are navigating the complexities of hybrid work arrangements, including maintaining team cohesion and productivity while balancing remote and in-office expectations. Attendees will learn about practical strategies to foster collaboration among geographically distributed teams, innovative uses of technology to support hybrid environments, and solutions to common challenges, such as equity in access to resources and work-life balance. Join us to uncover actionable insights and engage with experts shaping the future of hybrid work in the public sector.

The Defense Department has made maintaining its competitive edge in an increasingly software-defined battlespace a central focus of its most recent transformation efforts. A major theme of this wide-ranging effort is to transform how it delivers software by modernizing its processes, empowering teams and fostering innovation throughout the lifecycle.

Federal News Network will devote March 24 and 25 to exploring the programs currently underway to achieve these transformation initiatives.

Our journalists will talk to DoD and industry leaders about how the department intends to:

• Accelerate capabilities in their cloud environments to take advantage of artificial intelligence; low-code, no-code development platforms; and secure data accessibility.
• Establish, staff and mature departmentwide and agency-specific software factories and use DevSecOps and agile pipeline approaches to development.
• Transform development processes to enable resiliency, security and speed to deliver capabilities.

Virginia is among the leaders in government innovation, employing technology to raise the quality of public services and make people more involved. It involves updating data systems, AI and IT infrastructure, making digital services better while improving customer experience. At its core, this project entails setting ethical standards for managing AI and data; hence Virginia must ensure that these technologies are used responsibly even as they continue expanding their use.

Join us at the Government Innovation Showcase Virginia to explore insights in data management, modernized infrastructure, citizen-centric digital services, digital inclusion, and inter-agency collaboration. This event will highlight Virginia's innovative approaches and provide a platform for sharing ideas with peers across the state.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise for federal agencies — it is delivering measurable results today. From improving decision-making to increasing efficiency and preventing waste, fraud and abuse, agencies are moving beyond pilot projects to real-world impact.

At the Defense Department, AI is reshaping logistics and supporting faster, better-informed decisions. Across civilian agencies, AI is boosting employee productivity, modernizing customer experience and helping leaders tackle long-standing operational challenges.

Over two afternoons, April 29–30, Federal News Network’s AI & Data Exchange will examine how agencies are applying the latest AI tools — including generative and agentic AI — to reduce administrative burdens, accelerate data analysis and drive mission outcomes.

Through in-depth conversations with Federal News Network journalists, government and industry leaders will share practical insights on how agencies can:

• Integrate AI responsibly and effectively into government workflows.
• Prepare and train employees to fully leverage AI-driven tools.
• Measure performance and outcomes for evolving AI technologies.
• Scale successful AI use cases across programs and agencies.

Join us to explore how federal leaders are turning AI and data into real impact — and what it takes to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide results.
