Session description: Federal AI has entered its most exciting chapter yet — where mission speed and mission trust are engineered together, not traded off. Guided by EO 14179, OMB M-25-21 and M-25-22, and the June 2026 Advanced AI Innovation and Security EO, agencies are accelerating adoption and delivering real outcomes. The leaders furthest ahead are building guardrails from day one. Join federal experts to see what is working in production today — and walk away with a playbook you can put to work Monday morning.
