2026 Artificial Intelligence Summit
According to artificial intelligence experts, there have been three major surges of AI development in history. We’re currently enmeshed in the largest and fastest moving one by far. More is getting done in a matter of days and months than has been created over the course of decades in the past. Especially in government and military, AI is now an integral part of how information is processed and complex systems function.
The age of AI being merely theoretical is over — which is why we’ve gathered real practitioners of the technology for our sixth annual AI Summit. This 2026 edition will feature top voices from federal agencies, Department of Defense components and the GovCon industry to discuss strategies, future plans and exciting use cases for how AI, machine learning and automation are transforming our world today.
