AI Dominates the Landscape — Innovation 2026 Series

As agencies scale their AI initiatives and adopt Zero Trust architectures, modern infrastructure is becoming essential to mission success. Unlike traditional IT infrastructure – which handles general-purpose business transactions and simple database operations – AI infrastructure is built for high-throughput, parallel data processing required by deep learning and large language models (LLMs).

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss how government organizations can modernize their data centers, edge environments, and hybrid infrastructure to support secure, resilient, high-performance workloads.

We’ll Discuss:

  • Identify the risks when AI is deployed in legacy environments that were not designed for high performance or secure workloads
  • Outline steps to improve resilience across hybrid, multi-cloud, edge, and distributed operations
