Government and AI Summit 2026
About this event
GovExec convenes federal leaders and technologists at the JW Marriott for a day on generative AI applications, AI-powered cybersecurity and automation, with breakouts on RPA at scale and ethical AI governance.
GovExec's annual Government and AI Summit brings federal agency leaders, technologists and researchers together at the JW Marriott on Pennsylvania Avenue for a focused day on practical AI deployment inside government.
Main programme ground covers generative AI applications in agency contexts, AI-powered cybersecurity, and automation, with adjacent coverage of 5G, edge computing and quantum. Breakout sessions go deeper on robotic process automation at scale, ethical AI governance frameworks, and smart city integration.
The emphasis throughout is on agencies that have actually deployed rather than agencies planning to, which makes it more useful than the average federal technology conference.

Registration is free for government and military attendees; private sector and contractor registration is 295 dollars early bird through August 30 and 325 dollars after. Nearest Metro is Metro Center.
