The federal workforce faces a generational inflection point. An over-taxed talent pipeline, accelerating technology, and rising public expectations are converging to demand a fundamental rethinking of how government attracts, develops, and empowers its people.
This panel takes a candid, solutions-oriented look at the strategies and tools reshaping federal talent - from skills-based hiring and AI-enabled workforce planning to the platforms agencies are deploying to manage their most critical asset: their people.

Disconnected Operations: Driving Decision Advantage with Near Real Time Visibility

Dan Miller
Dan Miller
Director Defense Solutions
SAP US Public Services

Visibility over unit readiness and logistics of globally dispersed forces in real-time and near real-time is critical to commanders gaining decision advantage during combat operations. We will introduce SAP technology that supports continuing operations in disrupted, disconnected, intermittent and low-bandwidth communications environments (DDIL) where connectivity can be unreliable or unavailable.

Brian Laird
Executive Advisor - Public Sector
SAP

For 250 years, American industrial strength has been inseparable from American security. Today, global competition, concentrated supply chains, and a defense industrial workforce facing more than 800,000 open positions are demanding a new generation of American industrial capacity while also driving the most significant reinvestment in domestic manufacturing in a generation.

This panel examines how government and industry are working together to build a more resilient foundation - strengthening the supply chains, resources, and digital infrastructure that every mission depends on.

Innovation Unleashed: AI and the Next Era of American Government

The American experiment has always been a story of invention - from the telegraph to the transistor to the internet, each era has brought a defining technology that expanded what government could do.

Now, a new transformation is underway - and it may be the most consequential yet. Artificial intelligence is no longer a pilot program or innovation lab curiosity. Nearly 90 percent of federal agencies are already using or planning to deploy AI, and agentic systems capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex tasks are moving from concept to production. The question facing government leaders is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to scale it responsibly, securely, and at the speed of mission.

This panel takes a broad look at how government and industry are navigating the shift from experimentation to enterprise - scaling AI, governing it wisely, and building the data infrastructure that makes it all possible.

Lori Glaze
Lori Glaze
Deputy Associate Administrator, Exploration Systems Development
NASA

Acting NASA Associate Director Lori Glaze can offer our audience what the next 250 years looks like from inside the Artemis campaign, where the work involves managing enormous technical complexity while keeping a long-horizon mission on track. She is likely to draw on her background as a planetary scientist to talk about how evidence and disciplined program management hold up under real schedule and budget pressure, and what that discipline can teach any organization trying to execute against an ambitious vision.
