8th Annual Carahsoft Summit on FedRAMP

As expectations for government services continue to evolve, agencies are embracing artificial intelligence and automation to deliver faster, more personalized, and more accessible experiences. This keynote will explore how public-sector leaders are moving from CX strategy to execution, leveraging AI and emerging technologies to modernize service delivery, improve outcomes, and strengthen public trust.

A candid conversation featuring senior government leaders on the future of secure cloud adoption and federal technology modernization. Looking beyond today's priorities, they'll reflect on the lasting changes they hope to leave behind, the evolution of FedRAMP including the vision behind FedRAMP 20x, the realities of leading technology policy from inside OMB, and what it takes to successfully partner with the federal government. Attendees will gain firsthand insights into where federal technology is headed, how government is rethinking trust, security, and acquisition, and what these changes mean for agencies and industry alike.

FedRAMP is more than a certification process, it is a trust framework that enables agencies to confidently adopt shared cloud services. This panel brings together agency leaders to discuss how FedRAMP supports mission outcomes, reduces duplicative assessments, and enables faster procurement while maintaining strong security postures.

Join industry leaders for a candid discussion on how FedRAMP modernization is playing out one year in. As the FedRAMP Consolidated Rules for 2026 and FedRAMP 20x reshape the program, panelists will share how CSPs are adapting in real time; what’s working, what’s challenging, and what it means for the future of cloud security in the federal market.

As FedRAMP evolves towards automation, machine‑readable security data, and continuous assurance, the FedRAMP community is redefining what risk management and compliance looks like. Pete Waterman will discuss what is next for FedRAMP and what it means to all FedRAMP stakeholders.
