AI Lessons Learned:

Beyond the Hype — What It Really Takes to Deploy AI in Government

 Wednesday, Feb. 18 | 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT

AI adoption across government is accelerating — but not without challenges. Agencies are experimenting, piloting, scaling, and sometimes stumbling as they integrate AI into mission‑critical operations. The result? A growing body of real‑world lessons about what works, what doesn’t, and what it truly takes to deploy AI responsibly and effectively in the public sector.

Join us online Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT for a virtual summit focused on practical, hard‑earned lessons from government AI implementations — and how leaders are turning those lessons into smarter, safer, more impactful AI programs.

Specifically, you’ll learn:

  • What successful AI projects in government have in common — and where they often go off track.
  • How agencies are navigating data quality, governance, workforce readiness, and ethical considerations.
  • Real‑world examples of AI deployments that improved mission outcomes.
