Federal missions depend on resilient, responsive, and secure supply chains. Join Accenture Federal Services for an exclusive, in-person forum designed for senior federal leaders navigating today’s increasingly complex logistics and supply environments. Attendees will experience live, hands-on demonstrations of advanced solutions spanning AI-enabled automation, intelligent sensing and visibility, secure cloud platforms, and data-driven decision support.

Through candid discussions and practical examples grounded in real government missions, this forum will focus on how agencies can strengthen operational resilience, anticipate disruption, and drive faster, more informed decisions across the supply chain. 

This event is exclusively for federal leaders - don't miss the opportunity to connect and learn in a setting tailored just for you.
