T100 – Modernizing Federal Financial Systems in the Age of AI     

As federal agencies upgrade core financial platforms, AI is becoming both a strategic priority and an architectural consideration. This executive panel explores how agencies are embedding AI and machine learning into modernization efforts while maintaining compliance, financial integrity and operational control.  

T101 – Batman and Robin (aka AI & IT) – The Dynamic Duo: Using AI and IT Responsibly

AI readiness goes beyond technology; it requires people, processes and policies working together. This session explores how to build an AI-ready government workforce, with a focus on finance, budgeting and procurement communities.
Panelists will address upskilling, change management and strategies for aligning AI initiatives with mission priorities to prepare agencies for the next wave of intelligent automation.

T104 – Doing More with Less: AI and Automation at Scale with Best-fit Technology

Technology leaders across federal, state and local governments face a common challenge: constrained technical teams, expanding missions and increasing demands on reliability, security and compliance. At the same time, a new generation of capabilities — enterprise governance risk & compliance platforms, automation embedded in core systems and governed AI and analytics — creates an opportunity to fundamentally modernize how risk and controls are executed.

This session explores how federal, state and local agencies can partner with risk and business leaders to modernize the most resource-intensive risk management and compliance activities by optimizing existing platforms and introducing targeted new capabilities where they add clear value. The result is a scalable, data-driven risk technology ecosystem that strengthens resilience, reduces manual effort and enables faster, more confident mission delivery.     

T106 — Green-Lighting Consolidation & Modernization:
Achieving Visibility through Process Intelligence

Agencies can’t optimize what they can’t see. Process mining helps leaders see what’s really happening inside their operations, revealing bottlenecks and inefficiencies hidden in plain sight. Join former IRS CFO Teresa Hunter and former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development CIO Sairah Ijaz as they share lessons on how to turn insights into measurable impact for mission success. Attendees will get a clear primer on what process mining is, what it can do and how to use it to make faster, smarter decisions. Through real government examples, see how agencies break silos, strengthen accountability and drive operational efficiency, all while laying the groundwork for responsible AI.
