The Year That Reshaped Government: What Happened, What Changed, and What's Next

From the effects of the shutdown that opened the year to evolving policy, spending, workforce, acquisition, and technology priorities, federal leaders have had to continually adapt to a changing operating environment. This session will look back at the defining moments of 2026 and explore what they reveal about the road ahead; from how agencies navigated disruption and uncertainty, to the lasting shifts in how government plans, budgets, and delivers on its mission.
