You’ve probably heard 1,000 news stories over the past few months about how AI, specifically Generative AI, will transform the way we work. But that talk has been largely theoretical.

So what’s currently happening on the ground in government agencies regarding AI, and what’s on the AI priority list?

Join us in-person on July 24, 2024, from 8:00–11:30 AM ET at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Washington, D.C. to hear from government and industry leaders about the AI use cases that are currently making a difference in government and how they expect to see AI evolve over the coming years.

Additionally, catch up in person with your government peers, enjoy a free breakfast and get a professional headshot taken!

  • Government employees looking to grow their skillsets and careers to support the future of government.
  • Those interested in learning the top trends in government technology, policy and career planning.

What will you learn?

  • Insights from government and industry leaders on how they make strategic AI planning decisions. 
  • The biggest AI pain points that exist for government agencies.
