We stand at a singular inflection point in American scientific history. AI and advanced computing are no longer emerging capabilities, they are the engines of discovery, redefining how we understand the world, compressing the pace of breakthroughs, and solving the challenges that matter most to our nation's security, health, and economic vitality.

From accelerating drug discovery and climate modeling to powering next-generation defense systems and national laboratories, AI is transforming what is scientifically possible. The federal government sits at the center of this transformation. 

The question before us now is not whether AI will reshape federal science. It already is. The question is where the United States will lead that reshaping, with speed, intention, and the infrastructure to sustain it. On May 28th, Accenture Federal Services brings together the people building that future. ​

What to expect

Join us at The Forge for an exclusive event where federal technology leaders, mission owners, and industry innovators will gather to explore what is now possible and what comes next. 

• A keynote conversation with Dr. Darío Gil, Under Secretary for Science and Genesis Mission Director, and former SVP and Director of Research at IBM — Dr. Gil is one of the world's foremost voices on the intersection of AI, quantum computing, and scientific progress. Hear his vision for what the next era of discovery demands from government and industry alike.

• A first look at a new platform — Accenture Federal Services will unveil a groundbreaking capability designed to accelerate scientific discovery at a federal scale. You will be among the first to see it.
• Peer exchange with leaders who get it – this is a curated gathering. Every seat in the room belongs to someone building, deciding, or funding the future of federal technology. Come ready to engage.
