Virginia is among the leaders in government innovation, employing technology to raise the quality of public services and make people more involved. It involves updating data systems, AI and IT infrastructure, making digital services better while improving customer experience. At its core, this project entails setting ethical standards for managing AI and data; hence Virginia must ensure that these technologies are used responsibly even as they continue expanding their use.

Join us at the Government Innovation Showcase Virginia to explore insights in data management, modernized infrastructure, citizen-centric digital services, digital inclusion, and inter-agency collaboration. This event will highlight Virginia's innovative approaches and provide a platform for sharing ideas with peers across the state.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise for federal agencies — it is delivering measurable results today. From improving decision-making to increasing efficiency and preventing waste, fraud and abuse, agencies are moving beyond pilot projects to real-world impact.

At the Defense Department, AI is reshaping logistics and supporting faster, better-informed decisions. Across civilian agencies, AI is boosting employee productivity, modernizing customer experience and helping leaders tackle long-standing operational challenges.

Over two afternoons, April 29–30, Federal News Network’s AI & Data Exchange will examine how agencies are applying the latest AI tools — including generative and agentic AI — to reduce administrative burdens, accelerate data analysis and drive mission outcomes.

Through in-depth conversations with Federal News Network journalists, government and industry leaders will share practical insights on how agencies can:

• Integrate AI responsibly and effectively into government workflows.
• Prepare and train employees to fully leverage AI-driven tools.
• Measure performance and outcomes for evolving AI technologies.
• Scale successful AI use cases across programs and agencies.

Join us to explore how federal leaders are turning AI and data into real impact — and what it takes to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide results.

In 2026, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies will face an unprecedented and ongoing wave of  high-profile events that will test the limits of public safety efforts.

From the FIFA World Cup across 16 North American cities to the year-long America250 Semiquincentennial celebrations and the midterm elections, these events will draw millions of participants and global attention. This situation will create complex security challenges due to geographic spread, long durations, and the ongoing threat of advanced cyber campaigns and lone-wolf attacks. 

This year’s Law Enforcement and Public Safety (LEAPS) Technology Forum will focus on Operational Readiness 2026: Tech Strategies for Large-Scale Security Challenges. The conference provides a vital platform to explore how emerging technologies can significantly improve law enforcement readiness and response to this unique threat environment. Specific, actionable topics will include: 

• Integrated Intelligence Platforms: Enabling true interoperability among fusion centers, joint operation centers, and an international police coordination hub for real-time information sharing across federal, state, and local partners. 

• Counter-UAS (Drone) Technologies: Implementing layered C-UAS mitigation strategies to protect stadiums, parade routes, and critical infrastructure. 

• Cybersecurity Innovations and AI Defense: Protecting election systems and event networks from AI-accelerated attacks and ensuring the integrity of critical law enforcement communications. 

• Advanced Analytics and AI: Utilizing machine learning for real-time behavioral analysis, accurate crowd modeling, and optimizing resource deployment across vast urban zones. 

• Secure Communications and Interoperability: Establishing resilient, multi-band communications infrastructure for seamless command and control during National Special Security Events (NSSEs). 

• Digital Forensics and Disinformation Response: Implementing proactive strategies to fight online radicalization, deepfakes, and uphold election integrity.  

Join us at the 18th annual LEAPS Technology Forum. Attendees will gain actionable insights into leveraging technology for proactive risk management, rapid incident response, and public trust building in an era of evolving threats. With billions of dollars in federal investment now earmarked for security and technology modernization, this is the critical moment to align strategies, share best practices, and establish the united framework that will secure the year ahead and permanently redefine the future of public safety.
