Event Overview

In this executive briefing, we’ll discuss how coordinated AI agents can support high-volume workflows, from service desk triage and case routing to cyber response, compliance, and mission operations. The conversation will focus on the decisions IT leaders can make today: which workflows are ready for agentic AI, how much autonomy is appropriate, what governance and oversight are needed, and how agencies can move quickly without added risk, tool sprawl, or vendor lock-in.
