The Next Chapter of Federal IT Starts Here.

Join us December 10, 2026, at 8:00 AM ET!

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 keynotes, engaging fireside chats, and thought-provoking panel discussions, attendees will hear directly from the leaders navigating these challenges firsthand. Together, we'll explore the strategies, technologies, and leadership decisions shaping federal IT priorities for 2027 and beyond.
