Upcoming GovExec Events

As federal agencies continue evolving their workplace strategies, leaders are taking a closer look at how environments, technology, and workforce expectations shape day-to-day operations—and how those factors ultimately impact mission performance. There is a growing need to move beyond presence-based measures, to better understand how work actually gets done and what drives effective outcomes.
In this GovExec webcast, federal and industry leaders will explore practical strategies to modernize work environments—from improving hybrid collaboration experiences to standardizing technology. The discussion will focus on how agencies can create more seamless, effective workplaces that better support collaboration, flexibility, and mission delivery.

A full-day summit built for public sector technologists, security architects, and data leaders across federal civilian, defense, intelligence, and SLED — designed to move your data strategy forward.
A modern, AI-ready telemetry architecture — Core principles for separating data from tools, adopting tiered storage, and building pipelines that support AI initiatives without sacrificing compliance posture.
A Zero Trust-ready data layer — How telemetry control underpins zero trust across federal civilian, DoW, and SLED, from on-prem to FedRAMP-authorized cloud.
Real-world modernization playbook — Anonymized agency examples of pipeline modernization, cost reduction, and FedRAMP navigation — with ROI models that survive budget scrutiny.
Peer-driven insight — Spend the day with counterparts operating in classified environments, hybrid state infrastructures, and mission-critical defense programs.

In an era where cyber threats evolve at lightning speed, the public sector stands at a crossroads. Traditional security models, once deemed sufficient, now falter against sophisticated attacks targeting dispersed networks and cloud infrastructures. The 2026 Engage Public Sector Summit emerges as a pivotal gathering for visionaries committed to redefining government cybersecurity.
This summit will spotlight the transformative potential of integrated technologies such as Hybrid Mesh Firewalls and AI-driven email security. Participants will delve into strategies that prioritize agility, proactive defense, and unified management, moving beyond outdated frameworks. Join us to explore how these innovations can fortify the digital future of public services.
Stay for the networking reception in the expo area, where we'll host a fun Meet-and-Greet with a Washington Legend. It's the perfect way to wrap up the day, connect, and enjoy the experience.

As CMMC requirements reach full rollout for the Defense Industrial Base, the margin for error in data collection has vanished. For IT leaders, the challenge is twofold: maintaining rigorous security protocols without creating bureaucratic bottlenecks that stall the mission.
Join us for a deep dive into how FormAssembly provides a FedRAMP High and DoD IL4-authorized layer for your most sensitive workflows. We’ll explore how to handle any data, from Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), to sensitive citizen data with automated workflows in secure environments.
Learn to eliminate "compliance friction" by deploying a secure data collection ecosystem that integrates directly with your systems of record, ensuring your agency stays CMMC-ready and audit-proof.
Key Takeaways:
- Strategies for meeting the 2026 "Data as a National Asset" mandates.
- How to modernize legacy processes with secure, real-time data integration.
- Building a "Security First" workflow that doesn't sacrifice user accessibility.

Governments are redefining their service delivery and the customer experience through precision, performance, and AI-driven innovation. As agencies continue to improve services and optimize internal operations, the focus has shifted from defining CX to operationalizing it across every mission area.
