From Hire to Retire: Supporting the employee experience at every stage of the public sector workforce journey. 

The federal government is at a critical juncture, with a pressing need to modernize its human capital management (HCM) systems to meet evolving mission demands and workforce expectations. This is a pivotal time to re-imagine the employee experience of the federal workforce, as effective HCM is a strategic imperative for the government. 

Workday Federal Forum will explore how AI capabilities are unlocking new efficiencies across the federal HR lifecycle—from recruitment and skills-based strategies to workforce planning and employee engagement. 

This forum explores how transforming while modernizing can empower agencies to restore strategic capabilities to HR. Learn how to build an adaptable, resilient, and mission-ready workforce. Discover AI's role in accelerating skills-based hiring, streamlining decision-making, and enabling HR teams to prioritize strategic, human-centered work.

If your agency has adopted the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and its Generative AI Profile (NIST AI 600-1) as the foundation for governing your GenAI applications, you already know the goal: documented risk management, continuous monitoring, and audit-ready evidence that your AI systems are behaving as intended.

The challenge is operationalizing it. Bedrock's native model invocation logging captures raw inference data, and CloudTrail records who called the API and when — but neither produces the compliance reporting and audit trail that your Chief AI Officer, internal audit team, or IG needs when it's time to demonstrate compliance.

Join SolidCore.ai, AWS and Carahsoft for a live webinar on how to close that gap — turning Bedrock's native logging into a legally defensible, NIST-aligned compliance record without adding friction to your development teams. This may also qualify for funding from AWS's GENAI impact program.  

In this session, you'll learn:

• Where CloudTrail and invocation logs fall short — CloudTrail doesn't capture prompt or response content. Raw invocation logs in S3 or CloudWatch aren't an audit trail. We'll walk through what's missing and what your CAIO and auditors actually need to see.
• How SolidCore maps Bedrock activity to NIST AI RMF and 600-1 — API-level integration captures every prompt, response, model parameter, and configuration event. Automated compliance checks are pre-mapped to NIST AI RMF — no manual framework mapping required.
• Deployment in under 25 minutes, inside your VPC — Helm or Terraform deployment into your existing ECS or EKS environment. No proxy, no SDK, no application changes. Data never leaves your cloud boundary — no vendor access, no data egress, GovCloud compatible.
• From governance blocker to production confidence — See how SolidCore gives internal audit and AI governance teams on-demand compliance reports and policy enforcement evidence — without involving engineering.

Join Snowday 2026: Accelerating New York's Data-Driven Future, where data professionals from across the city and state will gather for a collaborative day of learning, networking and hands-on exploration.

What You'll Experience:

• Customer stories from organizations advancing their work with data and AI
• Engaging in panel discussions with peers across Chicago
• Live demonstrations in public safety, health and human services, transportation and higher education
• A hands-on lab to build practical skills
• Actionable solutions you can apply immediately
• Networking opportunities with public-sector data leaders, industry experts and fellow practitioners

Who Should Attend:

Data analysts, engineers, managers and anyone in Government or higher education working with data and looking to accelerate their modernization journey.

Join us for an exclusive, high-impact leadership workshop designed to help you navigate the shift from traditional contact centers to AI-native experience design. We will dive deep into the advantages of the Amazon Connect ecosystem—including the new Unlimited AI bundle—and provide a practical framework for migration, modernization, and long-term ROI.

During this workshop, attendees will listen to subject-matter experts discuss:

• A forward-looking discussion on AI-powered customer experience across Amazon Connect, Amazon Nova Sonic, Amazon Q, and Amazon Bedrock.
• A candid, executive-level comparison of Amazon Connect and traditional CCaaS platforms, focused on economics, AI readiness, and long-term scalability.
• An interactive session exploring how generative AI integrates into the contact center environment.

• An open strategy session to address architecture, migration risk, AI roadmaps, pricing models, and transformation planning.

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.
