Welcome to the Future of Data & AI at EVOLVE26.

An introductory paragraph set in a slightly larger size can help provide a rhythm to the typography and help increase the legibility of the page.

AI is the key to meeting your mission, but your data resides across your entire estate. To unlock real value, cloud-only solutions force you to move your data to the cloud—an option many government agencies simply don't have. There has to be a better way.


"It’s time to bring AI to your data anywhere it resides—across public clouds, on-premises, and at the edge—so you don’t just adapt, you accelerate innovation at scale. Experience the unified cloud platform from Cloudera and start realizing value from day one."

The Future of Data & AI Anywhere

Join a select group of Public Sector data leaders and AI architects for a high-impact day designed to deliver real outcomes. Through meaningful networking, strategic sessions, and interactive demos, this intimate Summit focuses on what matters most in government—right now.


AI is the key to agency innovation and enhanced constituent services, but your data resides across your data estate. To unlock real value, your cloud-only solutions force you to move your data to AI in the cloud. There has to be a better way. Cut through the noise and get clear, practical guidance on navigating data residency requirements and adapting to regional infrastructure shifts. You’ll see how to bring AI to your data—on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.

Deliver Rich, Trusted, 360 Degree Context to Agents with Cloudera’s Intelligent Lakehouse

Federal, state, and local government agencies are accelerating the adoption of AI models and applications, but successful AI begins with trusted, governed data. The next frontier of data infrastructure is not simply a lakehouse that stores more data. It is an intelligent lakehouse that understands and enriches information, continuously improves platform performance, and connects context across organizational and technology boundaries. In this session, see how multimodal intelligence can parse, extract, and vectorize unstructured content and combine it with structured data. Learn how AI-driven optimization can improve tuning, performance, and efficiency. Discover how Apache Iceberg, Trino, and integrations with Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, and Databricks enable interoperability and federated access. Together, these capabilities create the complete, governed, 360-degree context that agents need to deliver more reliable and mission-focused results.


This same foundation allows agencies to discover data anywhere, access it from anywhere, securely share governed data products, and power agents across public cloud, private cloud, on-premises, and edge environments. For regulated environments where sensitive data cannot be moved, Cloudera supports on-premises ingestion, governance, and data preparation, as well as private workloads, while also providing a controlled bridge to cloud platforms. Within Cloudera’s FedRAMP Moderate-authorized environment, agencies can extend this approach through a decentralized Data Mesh, enabling mission domains to create, share, and analyze governed data products while maintaining consistent security, compliance, and oversight. The result is the freedom to choose the architectures, tools, models, and applications that best support each agency’s mission today and in the future.

Location: Blue Room

2:30 PM - 3:05 PM

Bringing AI to Your Data in Government While Maintaining Control

Moving sensitive data to public AI models is a costly, risky compromise. The true enterprise differentiator lies in scaling trusted, autonomous agents for complex workflows—without sacrificing privacy or succumbing to an external provider’s "token traps." Discover how Cloudera achieves sovereign AI by bringing high-performance AI directly to your data, whether in hybrid clouds, private infrastructure, or air-gapped data centers.


What You Will Learn:

Private, Cost-Predictable Model Serving: Securely host models behind your firewall with Cloudera AI Inference service, lowering costs and aligning with how government agencies plan and operate.

Fast-Tracked Agentic Innovation: Rapidly scale autonomous workflows with low-code Cloudera Agent Studio, ensuring safe interaction with production systems.

Centralized AI Governance: Manage, monitor, and route AI usage via a unified control plane that eliminates "shadow AI" and ensures strict compliance.


Join us to see how a data-to-AI strategy minimizes risk, lowers costs, maximizes operational sovereignty, and accelerates production-grade enterprise intelligence - all in line with strict regulatory requirements.

Location: Blue Room

3:10 PM - 3:40 PM

Defensive Cyber Operations: Modernizing Threat Prevention with AI and Governed Data

As cyberattacks grow increasingly sophisticated, government agencies must leverage AI and data to detect and mitigate threats at scale. However, fragmented tools and unmanaged data often prevent security teams from acting with the speed required for modern cyber defense. With dozens of disconnected security tools generating petabytes of log data, analysts are forced into manual workflows that turn investigations into hours, days, or weeks of sifting through noise. Cloudera bridges this gap by offering a unifieddata architecture, with the ability to support IL6+ environments,  that streamlines SIEM optimization, centralizes governance, and unlocks real-time log ingestion across your entire cybersecurity ecosystem.


To stay ahead of adversaries, agencies need to transform static log repositories into proactive, AI-driven defense systems. By combining real-time streaming analytics with integrated AI agents, Cloudera enables security teams to automatically parse threat data, detect anomalies in real time, and trigger remediation actions. Whether securing core federal infrastructure or extending Zero Trust architectures out to the tactical edge, Cloudera equips warfighters with the performance, scale, and governance needed to protect highly sensitive mission data. 

Location: Blue Room

3:45 PM - 4:15 PM

Unlocking Citizen Services: Transforming Government Data into Mission-Ready Intelligence

Serving constituents efficiently and securely is the top priority for public-sector agencies, yet critical information often remains trapped in fragmented, hybrid environments. Whether managing millions of emergency response interactions or safeguarding sensitive patient health data, agencies need real-time, governed insights to act with speed and precision. Powered by a FedRAMP-moderate authorized, end-to-end data platform, Cloudera brings secure AI and analytics directly to your data—wherever it resides—turning complex data streams into mission-ready intelligence while maintaining strict security boundaries.


  • Faster Response & Actionable Insights with real-time audio transcription and AI dispatch analytics.
  • Unified Healthcare & Clinical Analytics with a governed Open Data Lakehouse for complex data.
  • Secure, Governed Private AI with models operating entirely within your agency boundaries.

Location: Blue Room

4:20 PM - 4:50 PM

From Silos to Dominance: Powering JADC2 with Trusted Data

In modern military operations, information is the ultimate weapon—yet critical data remains trapped in isolated domain silos across the Armed Forces. Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) aims to solve this by creating a unified network connecting every sensor, platform, and decision-maker. However, military leaders still face a fragmented data landscape, where searching across disparate systems increases the risk of costly missteps. Cloudera bridges this divide by connecting edge data across Combatant Commands—even in denied or disrupted environments—giving commanders a complete, real-time view of the battlespace.


True decision superiority requires more than rapid access; it demands absolute trust in the data. Powered by Cloudera’s Shared Data Experience (SDx), the Cloudera Data Platform provides zero-trust security and end-to-end data provenance, validating the exact lineage and reliability of intelligence from the cloud to the tactical edge. Managing exabytes of data at a global scale, Cloudera equips defense leaders with the trusted insights needed to eliminate guesswork, out-maneuver adversaries, and achieve mission success.
