Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center

DESCRIPTION:

A mission-themed tech showcase connecting government leaders with ready solutions, practical demos, and high-value teaming conversations. We bring government, industry, and academia into the same room around a set of pre-defined mission themes that reflect today’s priorities, constraints, and urgency.

Lightning Talks throughout the day provide context from practitioners and thought leaders, so every conversation starts with shared reality and ends with clearer next steps.

A mobile app will be provided with a listing of your firm, location on the exhibitor floor, and a brief description of your tool for all government, industry and academia attendees. The same information will be placed on the website.

If your firm is interested in exhibiting an innovative solution, product or tool, please complete the questionnaire at https://www.actiac.org/emerging_tech_demo_day_ques, and select one of the following Use Case Categories.  For any questions contact Carol Miller.

Groupings of Use Case Categories

Space Systems, Sensing & Security

Challenge: How might we leverage commercial space capabilities (e.g., satellites, launch and ground systems, space-based sensing, and AI-driven analytics) to enhance resilient communications, PNT, and space domain awareness for civil and national security missions, even in contested, congested, or degraded environments?

Digital Government & Autonomous Workflows

Challenge: How might we modernize government information systems with secure, interoperable architectures, AI agents, and workflow automation so that organizations can streamline operations, reduce manual burden, and enable near-real-time decision support, all while upholding transparency, auditability, and responsible use of data?

Cyber Defense, Digital Forensics & Insider Threat

Challenge: How might we apply commercial cyber and AI capabilities to detect, investigate, and mitigate cyber incidents and insider threats across government and critical infrastructure, while preserving privacy and enabling rapid, evidence-based response?
