The AFCEA Bethesda Emerging Leaders are excited to
host the 15th Annual AFCEA Bethesda Winter IT
Luncheon on February 10, 2027, from 11:30 AM -
2:00
PM at District Winery in downtown DC.
This year's theme is "From AI Experimentation to
Mission Impact." Through candid, small-group
discussions led by government leaders, attendees
will
explore how agencies are moving AI from
experimentation to implementation and using it to
transform operations, strengthen decision-making,
and advance the federal mission.
Roundtable discussions will focus on:
AI Governance & Guardrails: Establishing strict
frameworks and controls to prevent internal and
external abuse, ensure safe and authorized
responses,
and manage costs by preventing token burning.
AI and Cybersecurity: Securing the AI systems and
infrastructure the agency implements, ensuring
robust defenses against AI-specific
vulnerabilities
and threats.
AI & the Federal Workforce: Ensuring employees
securely adopt sanctioned AI tools and effectively
leverage them as daily digital assistants to
augment
their work.
AI, Data & Decision-Making: Identifying, curating,
and
managing the highest-quality data foundations
necessary to effectively enable and power agency
AI
models.
AI Acquisition & Innovation: Transitioning
promising AI
capabilities out of the pilot phase and
successfully
deploying them as scalable, enterprise-wide
solutions.
The luncheon will bring together senior government
officials, emerging leaders, and industry
professionals
for meaningful dialogue and cross-sector
collaboration focused on the practical steps
needed
to turn AI's potential into real-world mission
impact. |
