Where emerging tech meets federal mission

Vanguard Program

Accelerating federal use of emerging tech

AF-div-p01

Federal missions rely on secure, resilient, and responsive supply chains to deliver critical services and operate through disruption. Join Accenture Federal Services for an exclusive, in-person forum for federal leaders advancing the Administration’s priorities for supply chain resilience and modernization.

Through live demonstrations from commercial partners and mission-grounded discussions, participants will benefit from public-private knowledge sharing and explore cutting-edge solutions that can further strengthen domestic and allied supply chains, safeguard critical data, and accelerate logistics decisions in complex operating environments through increased end-to-end visibility powered by artificial intelligence (AI). 

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

How you'll accelerate mission success


Turn intent into decisive action

Connect strategic planning with real-time operational visibility, enabling commanders and analysts to make faster, more informed decisions at every echelon

Strengthen operational resilience

See how predictive planning, adaptive logistics, and intelligent routing designed for contested environments can strengthen resilience where supply chains and communications are threatened

Enhance intelligence-to-operations fusion

Learn how secure, zero-trust-aligned data sharing and digital sensing can protect classified information while enabling coordinated action across the enterprise

Optimize critical resources

Explore mission-ready capabilities—from strategic positioning and warehouse management to adaptive manufacturing and intelligent automation - and how they deliver the right capability at the point of need, when it matters most
