The Higher Education Artificial Intelligence Summit is an invitation-only gathering of senior academic and technology leaders hosted by the Center for Digital Education and the Center for Public Sector AI. This closed-door forum brings together institutions and industry innovators to explore the rapidly accelerating role of AI across academic, research, and operational domains.

The summit begins with a networking dinner, followed by a full day of candid, strategic dialogue. Discussions reflect the most urgent priorities facing higher education leaders as they navigate AI’s impact on campus, including:

• Institutional readiness, governance models, and responsible implementation
• Agentic AI and its potential to streamline repetitive, rules-based work
• Faculty development, instructional innovation, and academic integrity
• AI’s role in student success, engagement, and personalized support
• Research considerations, compliance, and data governance
• Emerging pilot programs, proof-of-concept initiatives, and shared best practices

This is a working session—not a conference. Council members and invited guests leave with clear insights, peer-tested strategies, and a stronger network to guide their institutions through the opportunities and responsibilities of AI adoption.

The age of AI is here, and North Carolina’s public sector is leaning in to lead with purpose. As leaders strive to unlock AI’s potential, they must also confront the growing need to secure critical infrastructure, protect sensitive data, and ensure ethical, transparent use of these emerging technologies. With cyber threats evolving just as rapidly as AI capabilities, today’s CIOs and agency leaders face a dual challenge: driving innovation while fortifying digital trust.

The North Carolina AI and Cybersecurity Symposium is an action-packed opportunity to engage with leaders at the forefront of AI adoption and cyber defense. From state agencies to local governments, to higher education, attendees will explore how AI and cybersecurity intersect to shape smarter, safer, and more resilient public services. Join us in a friendly, collaborative environment to share ideas, build partnerships, and gain insights from both peers and private sector trailblazers leading the way on AI and Cybersecurity.

Open to Public Sector only.

Transform Mission-Critical Services with Modern Technology

Government agencies face mounting pressure to modernize legacy systems, deliver better digital services, and keep pace with innovation — all while navigating complex data silos, rigid database schemas, and strict security and compliance mandates. These constraints can slow progress, making it difficult to build citizen-facing apps, modernize large IT systems, or process mission-critical information efficiently.

At the MongoDB Public Sector Summit, you’ll discover how to overcome these challenges with modern technology designed for today’s government needs. From modernizing outdated infrastructure to architecting systems that can support generative AI, you’ll learn how to make your data more secure, your applications more agile, and your agency more cost-efficient. Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for driving innovation at the speed of a modern tech company — without compromising on security or compliance.
