Where emerging tech meets federal mission
Federal missions depend on resilient, responsive, and secure supply chains.

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.
