The Summit is an action-packed opportunity to engage with AI Leaders who are leading the way in leveraging AI as a strategic asset at the state, local, department, and agency levels. The goal of the Summit is to create a friendly and engaging environment to build and foster relationships with your peers and the private sector thought leaders.
