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.


Reserve your seat to take on the challenges of the Anywhere Cloud era and turn siloed data into a unified engine for innovation.

Why attend?

Local Perspective, Global Innovation

See how federal, state, and local leaders are navigating data sovereignty, local regulations, and market-specific challenges.

Peer-to-Peer Networking

​​Skip the generic keynotes. This Forum is built for active exchange between you and government executives leading the charge in Public Sector. It’s an opportunity to align your perception of the AI landscape with the actual experiences of peers facing the same infrastructure and regulatory demands.

Accelerated Insights

We’ve condensed the best of our Global roadmap and use cases into a one-day, high-intensity agenda designed for busy executives.

Operationalizing AI Innovation in Government Health: From Strategy to Mission Impact

As government health agencies modernize, moving AI and emerging technologies from pilot operations at scale requires more than technology alone. Success starts with a deep understanding of the program workflows and is dependent on strong governance, scalable data and AI foundations, and a human-centered approach. This session will explore how government health programs can operationalize innovation, continuously improve programs and services, and deliver measurable outcomes for the patients, beneficiaries, and communities they serve.

Location: Blue Room

2:20 PM - 2:50 PM

Edge-to-Cloud AI: Transforming DCO with Booz Allen and Cloudera

To counter machine-speed threats, Booz Allen and Cloudera offer a hybrid-cloud Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) platform for regulated environments. By processing telemetry at the edge and moving high-fidelity signals to an open data lakehouse, this architecture creates a secure foundation for Enterprise AI. The solution integrates Agentic AI "digital wingmen" to proactively monitor traffic and automate complex responses. Attendees will learn how this synergy enables public sector teams to shift from reactive monitoring to autonomous, real-time defense, safeguarding mission-critical services against next-generation cyber adversaries.

Location: Blue Room

2:55 PM - 3:25 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

3:30 PM - 4:00 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.
