Upcoming ACT-IAC Events
Artificial intelligence has moved past the experimental phase and directly into the cyber battlespace. With the quiet release of models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT 5.4 Cyber, both attackers and defenders now have access to capabilities that meaningfully shift operational tempo and risk.
For federal missions, this isn’t a future scenario. It’s happening now.
This briefing delivers a clear, unvarnished look at what these advanced systems can actually do, how they are already influencing offensive and defensive operations, and what federal leaders must prepare for in the next 12–24 months. No buzzwords. No hype. Just the facts needed to protect critical systems, uphold public trust, and stay ahead of adversaries who are moving quickly to exploit AI-enabled opportunities.
If you’re responsible for mission resilience, national security risk, or cyber readiness, this is the briefing that helps you act – not react.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand the Real Capabilities of Emerging AI Models
- Gain a clear, technical but plain language understanding of how the newest AI systems accelerate both cyber offense and defense – and what that means for federal environments today.
- Identify Immediate Mission and Risk Implications
- Learn how AI driven tooling is already changing adversary behavior, operational tempo, workforce requirements, and defensive posture across government systems.
- Prioritize Federal Actions for the Next 12–24 Months
- Walk away with a focused set of planning considerations – from governance to investments to readiness – that support mission resilience in an AI accelerated cyber landscape.
Fraud in the federal government significantly impacts public trust, waste of the taxpayer dollars, integrity of the federal programs, and government efficiency. There are multiple types of fraud that include fraudulent payments for services or purchases that were only done to obtain financial benefit and fraud schemes that impact loans, insurances, or other related services. Addressing Fraud in the federal government is a priority initiative and is essential for safeguarding public funds and ensuring effective program execution. Multiple agencies including, for example, IRS, GAO, CMS are actively working to combat fraud through various initiatives, frameworks, and technology to mitigate risks and enhance accountability.
This forum will provide you with examples of technologies and procedures that government have developed to intervene and circumvent fraud activities along with outcomes and plans for future actions.
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 cybersecurity landscape will continue to be shaped by a combination of advanced technologies and new strategies to address the evolving and more advanced cyber threats with an emphasis on proactive measures to safeguard digital assets. Regulations are expected to change to a more universal standard of system designs, storage of data and responses to breaches.
Join national leaders from Federal, State and Academia, innovators, cyber security experts, and others for a dynamic summit that will explore and provide updates on cybersecurity, advanced technologies, threat assessment and mitigation, utilization of Agentic AI and Zero Trust principles, fostering a highly skilled and adaptive cyber workforce, and other services. As threats grow more complex and missions become more digital, this summit will show how government and industry can adapt, innovate and thrive and how they are addressing the critical challenges through breakthrough solutions and technology. Learn how embracing innovation can accelerate modernization, enhance resilience and deliver more responsive public services.
OBJECTIVES:
- Enlighten industry and government on what is being done at different agencies to secure security to critical infrastructures and protect the public
- Learn and share updates, trends and challenges on cybersecurity.
- Opportunity to cross share successes and lessons learned between government, industry and academia
As governments and organizations strive to deliver faster, more secure, and user-centric services, artificial intelligence is transforming how we design, operate, and improve digital experiences. Modernizing AI-Powered Digital Services brings together thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and service delivery experts to explore how AI can be responsibly and strategically embedded across critical systems – from citizen-facing portals and digital assistants to back-end analytics and decision-making frameworks. Attendees will gain actionable insights into harnessing generative AI, machine learning, and automation to reduce friction, increase accessibility, and elevate trust in public and private sector services.
This summit will showcase real-world use cases, policy frameworks, and technology solutions that drive measurable outcomes. Sessions will focus on designing AI-ready infrastructure, protecting user privacy, enabling ethical innovation, and upskilling the workforce for an AI-augmented future. Whether you’re modernizing legacy platforms, improving digital equity, or scaling intelligent services securely and at speed, this gathering offers the strategic vision and technical depth to help you lead with confidence in the age of AI.
AI transforms customer service and improves customer experience (CX) by making interactions faster, smarter, more personalized, and available around the clock. Here's how it reshapes service delivery across both private and public sectors.
Join ACT-IAC in collaboration with Dorris Consulting to
discover how AI can effectively be utilized in CX and DX to revolutionize
government services and ensure they meet the needs of today’s citizens and
employees.
The era of "admiring the problem" is over. In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the true measure of innovation isn’t found in a strategic plan or a conceptual slide deck – it’s found in the successful delivery of mission-critical results.
Imagine Nation ELC 2026 is moving beyond the drawing board. This year, we are gathering the boldest minds in government and industry to move Beyond the Blueprint. We are shifting the conversation from what is possible to what is being proven.
This conference is designed for the disruptors and the doers who understand that implementation is the ultimate form of innovation. Join us as we explore:
- The Velocity of Delivery: How leaders are accelerating the timeline from ideation to implementation.
- Disruptive Implementation: Breaking through legacy mindsets and bureaucratic hurdles to deploy modern solutions.
- Proven Impact: Real-world case studies of IT initiatives that have moved past the pilot phase to deliver tangible value to the citizen.
It’s time to stop talking about the future and start building it. Join us at the Gaylord National this December to celebrate our collective accomplishments and sharpen the tools needed to turn your next big idea into lasting impact.
