The Next Chapter of Federal IT Starts Here.
Join us December 10, 2026, for a full day of insights, innovation, and connection!
As 2026 comes to a close, federal technology leaders are looking ahead to a new year of challenges, opportunities, and transformation. From the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence to shifting cybersecurity priorities and the continued push for modernization, the decisions being made today will help define the future of government technology.
On December 10, ATARC's CIO & Executive Leadership Summit will bring together influential federal CIOs, technology executives, and mission leaders for a day of forward-looking conversations about where government IT stands, what we've learned, and what comes next.
Through executive fireside chats, thought-provoking panel discussions, industry demonstrations, and technology presentations, attendees will hear directly from the leaders navigating these challenges firsthand and explore the innovations helping agencies move forward. Together, we'll examine the strategies, technologies, and leadership decisions shaping federal IT priorities for 2027 and beyond.
What to Expect
- What's Next for 2027: Emerging federal IT priorities, lessons learned, and strategies for the year ahead.
- Executive Leadership: How senior leaders are navigating organizational change, competing priorities, and evolving mission demands.

One Last Gathering Before the New Year!
The conversations don't have to end when the final session wraps up!
After a full day of insights and innovation, join us for a year-end cocktail reception to celebrate the connections, collaborations, and accomplishments that have shaped 2026.
Reconnect with colleagues, meet new faces, and raise a glass to the opportunities ahead as we bring the federal IT community together for one final gathering before the new year.
From 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM ET, join us for a full day of meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and connections that will carry into 2027.
