Upcoming MeriTalk Events
Join MeriTalk for a special edition of Tech Tonic as we celebrate the winners of the America 250 Powering Progress Awards — recognizing the government and industry leaders driving innovation, modernization, and mission impact across federal IT.
As the nation approaches the 250th anniversary of the United States, these awards spotlight the changemakers advancing progress across AI, cybersecurity, automation, cloud, and customer experience.
Come raise a glass with the community as we honor this year’s winners and connect with the leaders shaping the future of government technology.
At Think Gov 2026, forward-thinking Federal IT decision-makers will explore how AI, automation, and hybrid cloud are driving productivity and mission advantage. Join us at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. to see how other agencies are deploying AI agents and assistants, optimizing AI-ready data, and ensuring maximum ROI with IT automation — all with the power of choice, trust, and seamless integration.
Think Gov 2026 will feature:
- Real-world success stories
- Hands-on activations showcasing IBM’s latest innovations across automation, AI, data, hybrid cloud and more
- Networking with IBM experts, trusted partners, and industry leaders to foster strategic connections
- Insights and strategies to help attendees make informed, impactful, and future-proofed decisions for their agency
Attendees will walk away with the tools, knowledge, and relationships to unlock AI’s full potential and maximize their mission success.
Federal IT isn’t standing still, and neither are the rules, priorities, and playbooks shaping it.
Shift Happens is a one-day MeriTalk forum where government and industry leaders examine what’s changing in how agencies fund, buy, secure, authorize, and scale technology – and what those shifts mean in practice.
Candid, policy-forward conversations will explore the shift in approach across AI, cybersecurity, quantum, acquisition, cloud authorization, and digital services, focusing on practical implications, implementation realities, and what comes next.
