Government agencies at every level face increasing demands for efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and resilience against complex threats. Despite federal mandates like OMB’s M-25-21 and M-25-22, and widespread modernization initiatives, many public sector organizations struggle with outdated infrastructure, inconsistent data standards, and entrenched silos that impede progress toward real-time, data-informed action.
Join public sector data leaders to discover how AI and modern data strategies can dismantle these barriers and translate policy into tangible practice. Speakers will delve into leveraging AI-driven analytics to assess current data landscapes, prioritize critical system integrations, and implement practical data governance insights that align with evolving directives and accelerate government-wide modernization.
