No matter what part of the government you’re looking at — federal civilian, military, executive branch — modernization of technology systems is an ongoing concern and top priority. Outdated legacy programs and applications have long been an impediment for mission speed. But the officials featured at our 2026 Digital Transformation Summit are trying to change that. These high-ranking, impact-driven individuals are setting the government up to not just catch up to commercial industry but to harness its tools and form long-lasting partnerships that will ensure the U.S. has the capabilities to best its near-peers on the global stage.

At the event, you’ll get to hear exclusive plans for next-generation evolutions in AI, cyber, user experience, enterprise IT and more, with plenty of opportunities for networking with peers and speakers alike.

From Hire to Retire: Supporting the employee experience at every stage of the public sector workforce journey. 

The federal government is at a critical juncture, with a pressing need to modernize its human capital management (HCM) systems to meet evolving mission demands and workforce expectations. This is a pivotal time to re-imagine the employee experience of the federal workforce, as effective HCM is a strategic imperative for the government. 

Workday Federal Forum will explore how AI capabilities are unlocking new efficiencies across the federal HR lifecycle—from recruitment and skills-based strategies to workforce planning and employee engagement. 

This forum explores how transforming while modernizing can empower agencies to restore strategic capabilities to HR. Learn how to build an adaptable, resilient, and mission-ready workforce. Discover AI's role in accelerating skills-based hiring, streamlining decision-making, and enabling HR teams to prioritize strategic, human-centered work.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future promise for federal agencies — it is delivering measurable results today. From improving decision-making to increasing efficiency and preventing waste, fraud and abuse, agencies are moving beyond pilot projects to real-world impact.

At the Defense Department, AI is reshaping logistics and supporting faster, better-informed decisions. Across civilian agencies, AI is boosting employee productivity, modernizing customer experience and helping leaders tackle long-standing operational challenges.

Over two afternoons, April 29–30, Federal News Network’s AI & Data Exchange will examine how agencies are applying the latest AI tools — including generative and agentic AI — to reduce administrative burdens, accelerate data analysis and drive mission outcomes.

Through in-depth conversations with Federal News Network journalists, government and industry leaders will share practical insights on how agencies can:

• Integrate AI responsibly and effectively into government workflows.
• Prepare and train employees to fully leverage AI-driven tools.
• Measure performance and outcomes for evolving AI technologies.
• Scale successful AI use cases across programs and agencies.

Join us to explore how federal leaders are turning AI and data into real impact — and what it takes to move from experimentation to enterprise-wide results.
