Innovation Summit 2026: AI Dominates the Landscape
About this event
A free FedInsider summit at the Ritz-Carlton on scaling federal AI from pilot to enterprise deployment, zero trust governance for AI, and data centre modernisation for AI workloads, with CPE credits available.
FedInsider convenes government and industry leaders at the Ritz-Carlton in the West End for an afternoon summit on federal AI adoption.
The framing statistic the organisers cite is the growth in reported federal AI use cases from 1,757 to 3,611 between 2024 and 2025, which sets up the central question of the day: what changes when AI stops being experimental and becomes ordinary infrastructure.
Three panels structure the programme, covering scaling AI from pilot into enterprise-wide deployment, applying zero trust governance principles to AI systems, and modernising data centre and infrastructure capacity for AI workloads.
The summit is free to attend and sponsored by Carahsoft, Dell Technologies and George Washington University. Up to three CPE credits are available through GW's College of Professional Studies. It runs 11:30 to 6:00.
