Public sector employees are carrying an extraordinary burden. Staffing shortages, rising service demands and constant operational pressure are pushing many workers to the brink of burnout — and agencies are feeling the consequences through higher turnover, increased overtime and growing strain on critical public services. Behind every delayed permit, missed inspection or longer emergency response time is a workforce being asked to do more with fewer resources.
This webinar will explore how public sector organizations can use real-time workforce intelligence to better support employees while maintaining operational readiness and service continuity. Rather than relying on outdated scheduling models and reactive staffing decisions, agencies can use live workforce data to identify burnout risks early, distribute workloads more equitably and give managers the visibility they need to respond before staffing challenges escalate into workforce crises.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Identify signs of workforce fatigue, burnout and turnover risk in real time
- Reduce excessive overtime and staffing imbalances through intelligent scheduling
- Improve employee retention by creating more transparent and consistent workforce policies
- Give managers actionable workforce insights that support healthier team operations
- Maintain service continuity during staffing shortages and operational disruptions
- Use workforce analytics and forecasting tools to align staffing needs with budget realities
- Strengthen employee trust and morale through more responsive workforce management practices
We’ll discuss how leaders can build a healthier, more resilient workforce — one that is better equipped to serve the public without sacrificing employee well-being.

AI in government isn’t new, but what’s happening now is different. Agencies are moving past pilots and into real implementation, where AI agents aren’t just answering questions — they’re starting to take on work that used to require entire teams.
For capital program leaders, that shift couldn’t come at a more critical time. Expectations are rising, project complexity is increasing, and experienced staff are harder to find and retain. The result is a growing gap between what agencies are expected to deliver and the resources they actually have.
This practical webinar focuses on what AI agents actually look like in practice and where they can make a measurable difference today. From predicting bid estimates to enhancing road and rail safety to summarizing data for faster decision-making, agentic AI is pushing capital programs into exciting new territory.
Why attend:
- Get real examples of AI agents in action — not theory, but where they’re delivering value now
- See how agencies are stretching limited staff further without adding headcount
- Learn where to start so AI supports project delivery, not just experimentation

State and local agencies are under growing pressure to modernize networks while maintaining uninterrupted public services, controlling costs, and supporting increasingly complex security and operational demands. At the same time, legacy infrastructure, fragmented connectivity environments and rigid networking models are limiting flexibility just as mission requirements continue to evolve.
This webinar explores how the new government network is emerging — not as a single upgrade, but as an on-demand connectivity and network operating model designed for resilience, governed change and long-term adaptability. Rather than forcing agencies into periodic, disruptive refresh cycles, on-demand networking enables continuous evolution, allowing capacity, performance and services to scale as needs change while preserving operational stability.
Attendees will learn:
- How leading agencies are shifting toward on-demand networking models to improve predictability and operational control
- Why modernization is increasingly an operating and governance challenge, not just a connectivity decision
- How on-demand connectivity can reduce risk and complexity during infrastructure transitions, including copper and TDM retirements
- What agencies can do now to prepare for future network and service changes without rushed or reactive decision-making
The session will also introduce a practical transition-readiness framework that agencies can use to assess exposure, strengthen resilience and preserve flexibility before timelines and architectures are dictated by forced retirement events.
Designed for CIOs, IT leaders, operations leaders, procurement officials and public safety stakeholders, this conversation focuses on helping agencies build a secure, scalable and adaptable network foundation that supports continuity today and evolving needs tomorrow.

AI is showing up fast in government, and not just in IT. It’s reshaping how agencies manage budgets, oversee procurement and administer grants — streamlining tasks like grant research, RFP development and budget documentation while giving lean finance teams more capacity to focus on oversight and decision-making.
But for many leaders, the real question isn’t what AI can do. It’s whether it can be trusted, governed and adopted without creating new risks, especially in areas tied to public funds, compliance and audit exposure. IT leaders are increasingly at the center of that responsibility, working alongside finance and program leaders to ensure these tools are secure, transparent and aligned with agency priorities.
This panel-style discussion brings together public sector experts to answer questions about the real concerns agencies are facing right now, from data privacy and transparency to workforce impact and adoption challenges. You’ll hear how organizations are applying AI in practical terms across finance and administrative functions: where it delivers value, where it introduces risk, and how IT and finance teams are working together to manage both.
Why attend:
- Get straight answers on AI risks, including data privacy, transparency and audit implications for finance operations
- See where AI is saving time today across procurement, grants and budgeting workflows
- Learn how IT and finance leaders can guide responsible adoption while maintaining control, compliance and visibility
