We’re excited to announce Carahsoft’s 3rd Annual Artificial Intelligence for Government Summit. This premier event will bring together Federal, State and Local government leaders, practitioners and industry experts to explore how AI is reshaping government missions, services and infrastructure.

Engage in expert-led discussions and practical demonstrations covering key AI priorities, including:

• Copilots and AI Tools to Streamline Daily Workflows: Improving efficiency and productivity across agencies 
• Responsible AI and Governance: Building trust, transparency and compliance in AI adoption 
• AI and Cybersecurity: Strengthening security and protecting critical infrastructure 
• Advanced Data and AI Strategies: Enabling smarter decisions and mission outcomes 

Cloud adoption across government has moved beyond isolated migrations and pilot programs. Today, agencies are taking a whole-of-government approach to cloud computing. They’re aligning policy, security, acquisition and operations to modernize IT environments and deliver better services at scale.

Federal News Network’s Cloud Exchange 2026 brings together senior government leaders, technologists and industry experts to examine how agencies are using cloud services to modernize infrastructure, strengthen security and expand mission capabilities across the enterprise.

As agencies face increasing demands for resilience, interoperability and speed, cloud has become a foundational infrastructure capability and platform for modernization —supporting everything from zero trust architectures and data analytics to application modernization and digital service delivery.

What we’ll explore

At Cloud Exchange 2026, speakers will share practical insight into how agencies are:

• Using cloud services to reimagine legacy systems and improve operational efficiency
• Strengthening cybersecurity through shared services, zero trust and continuous monitoring
• Expanding digital services to better serve the public and internal users
• Aligning cloud strategy with federal policy, acquisition reform and workforce readiness
• Scaling cloud adoption across programs while managing cost, risk and performance

Through in-depth conversations led by Federal News Network journalists, this exchange will highlight real-world programs, lessons learned and emerging best practices from across government.

Whether you are shaping cloud policy, leading IT modernization efforts or are responsible for delivering secure, reliable services, this virtual event will offer timely insights into how agencies are moving from cloud adoption to cloud optimization together.

The SANS Fall Cyber Solutions Fest 2026: Identity Security and Zero Trust Track delivers a deep technical examination of identity as the modern attack surface. As adversaries exploit misconfigured IdPs, weak federation trust, poisoned authentication flows, and over-permissioned service principals, this track analyzes the mechanics of identity compromise across multiple attack surfaces, and hybrid environments. Sessions will dissect novel identity threat vectors, including token replay and manipulation, MFA fatigue attacks, conditional access bypass techniques, and identity infrastructure persistence. Practitioners will gain prescriptive guidance on securing authentication pipelines, hardening federation architectures, and monitoring high-risk identity events with advanced telemetry.

Anchored in Zero Trust architecture, the track focuses on continuous policy enforcement, adaptive authentication, micro-segmentation, and automated privilege reduction across distributed systems. Experts will present reference architectures and implementation patterns for identity-centric Zero Trust deployments, covering identity threat detection and response (ITDR), identity-driven segmentation, policy decision point/orchestration design, and integration of identity context into SIEM, XDR, and SOAR workflows. Attendees will leave with actionable techniques for securing machine identities, enforcing least privilege at scale, validating trust signals in real time, and operationalizing Zero Trust across multi-cloud and SaaS ecosystems.
