Schrödinger’s Roadmap: Sorting Quantum Hype from Federal Reality

Date: Thursday, February 14, 2026

Time: 11:00 a.m. ET

CGI Panel Moderator: Victor Foulk

Government panelists: 

  • Allison Schwartz, SVP, Global Government Relations and Public Affairs, D-Wave Quantum, Inc.
  • Dr. Jayne Morrow, Director, Quantum Collaborative Research and Education

Session overview: Quantum can look contradictory: overhyped in some conversations and genuinely promising in others. This panel translates the landscape into an actionable federal perspective—starting with a quick, shared vocabulary and then moving into how agencies can engage responsibly today without overcommitting. We’ll discuss how to evaluate readiness, where experimentation makes sense, and how to spot common pitfalls in claims, benchmarks, and timelines. The goal is to leave attendees with a practical framework for deciding what to explore, how to structure early efforts, and what “success” should look like in a mission context.

Data Detox: Scrub Before your Scale AI

Date: Friday, May 15, 2026

Time: 9:45 a.m. ET

CGI panel moderator: Anneli Connel

Government panelist:

  • Justin Cole, Director of Data Transparency, Bureau of Fiscal Service
  • Cindy Good, Deputy Chief Data Officer, Federal Transit Administration
  • David Ashley, Acting Chief Data Officer, U.S. Department of the Treasury

Session overview: Before federal agencies can unlock the full potential of AI, they need a data detox. Siloed systems, inconsistent definitions, and unmanaged unstructured content act like toxins that undermine trust and scalability. This session explores how to cleanse and govern your data estate—structured and unstructured—so AI initiatives deliver accurate, secure, and mission-aligned outcomes.
