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.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How to modernize student information, finance and HR systems without interrupting campus operations
• Where AI can safely accelerate code analysis and transformation while maintaining institutional control
• Best practices for reducing technical debt while strengthening security and resilience

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 From modernizing outdated infrastructure to architecting systems that can support generative AI, you’ll learn how to make your data more secure, your applications more agile, and your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.
