Vanguard Forum at The Forge
Where emerging tech meets federal mission
This is more than a tech job fair. It's an invitation to step into some of the most consequential AI and data work happening in the country right now — work that directly shapes national security, public health, defense, and the infrastructure that millions of Americans depend on.
Join Accenture Federal Services at The Forge for an AI Tech Talent Fair where you'll go beyond the pitch deck and inside the actual work: the centers of excellence driving federal reinvention, the people making it happen, and the tools we're deploying.
Hear directly from our leaders and hands-on AI innovators who are shaping how the Government operates in an AI-enabled world. These are candid conversations — not polished keynotes — about where the mission is heading and the talent needed to drive them forward. While you're here...we're confident you will see where your purpose and skills collide. This is your chance to not only learn about opportunities, but to actively shape your future in the Federal AI and data landscape.
