The message is clear: annual reviews alone aren’t going to cut it. Federal agencies are reimagining how they evaluate\, develop\, and support their workforces in response to the recognition that annual performance reviews alone aren’t enough. As expectations for accountability\, engagement\, and mission delivery evolve\, agencies are empowering supervisors to lead more frequent\, meaningful feedback conversations using data-driven insights to track performance drivers. By empowering supervisors with better tools and training\, applying workforce analytics\, and encouraging open performance-based dialogue\, agencies are aiming to boost engagement\, retention\, and mission outcomes. \nThis session will bring together agency leaders and workforce experts from OPM and other federal entities to share how they plan to put these ideas into practice—what’s working\, what’s changing on the ground\, and how lessons learned can help drive a stronger\, more adaptable federal workforce. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Samantha Adrignola\n Manager\, Strategic Consulting Program\, U.S. Office of Personnel Management \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Howard Spira\n Chief Information Officer\, Export-Import Bank of the United States \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Britta Wilhelmsen\n Strategy & Enablement Lead\, Government Sector\, BetterUp \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rudolf Rojas\n Information Technology Manager\, U.S. Department of Agriculture \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Andrew Petry\n Acting Deputy Chief Information Officer\, Office of Resource Management\, Office of the Chief Information Officer\, U.S. Department of Energy \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator: Kiersten Patton\n ATARC Consultant \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Zoom for Government enables ATARC remote collaboration opportunities through its cloud platform for video and audio conferencing\, chats and webinars across all devices.

However\, this widespread adoption also introduces new cybersecurity challenges. As AI systems become more integrated\, organizations are exposed to sophisticated threats\, such as prompt injection attacks and the risk of sensitive data leakage through AI-driven processes. This presentation will introduce Prisma AIRS\, a comprehensive solution designed to address these emerging security concerns. Join Matt Marsden for an informative session on Prisma AIRS\, where you will learn how to: \n  – Achieve full visibility into your AI ecosystem: Understand your AI applications\, models\, and data flows across all deployment environments.  – Ensure secure communication: Protect the integrity and confidentiality of interactions between AI components.  – Detect and respond to threats: Identify and mitigate real-time risks such as prompt injections\, malicious URL invocations\, and data exfiltration attempts. \nBy securing your entire AI infrastructure with Prisma AIRS\, government cybersecurity leaders can confidently leverage AI technologies to enhance mission capabilities while maintaining rigorous security standards. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Matt Marsden\n Senior Director\, Solutions Consulting\, Palo Alto Networks \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 9:55 AM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Emerging Technology Talk\n \n \n \n \n \n Leveraging Generative AI to Revolutionize Cyber Training and Enhance SOC Capabilities \n Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionizing the world of cybersecurity in diverse ways.

Cross-skilling\, upskilling\, and reskilling are no longer optional—they are essential strategies for mission readiness across cybersecurity\, cloud management\, data governance\, and more. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence illustrate the growing need for cross-domain expertise: cybersecurity professionals must address AI-driven threats\, cloud architects must integrate AI tools for optimization\, and data leaders must ensure information is AI-ready. But AI is just one example. Broader trends across technology demand a workforce that is flexible\, resilient\, and continuously evolving. \nThis webinar will bring together federal leaders to discuss practical strategies for building a dynamic\, future-ready workforce—one that emphasizes continuous learning\, cross-functional capabilities\, and a culture of adaptability to meet current and future mission needs. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Patrick Johnson\n Director\, Workforce Innovation Directorate\, Office of the Chief Information Officer\, U.S. Department of Defense \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Howard Spira\n Chief Information Officer\, Export-Import Bank of the United States \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Dr. Ashley Hoffman\n Director\, Talent Assessment & Data Analytics\, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Matthew Isnor\n Program Lead\, Cyberspace Workforce Development\, Office of the Chief Information Officer\, U.S. Department of Defense \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sean Starnes\n Chief Information Security Officer\, Space CAMP\, U.S. Space Force \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tony Holmes\n Practice Lead for Solutions Architects Public Sector\, Pluralsight \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Moderator: Kiersten Patton\n ATARC Consultant \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Zoom for Government enables ATARC remote collaboration opportunities through its cloud platform for video and audio conferencing\, chats and webinars across all devices.

However\, building a scalable\, error-corrected quantum computer is not just a “quantum” problem—it presents significant systems and architectural challenges. Addressing these challenges early and from a broad perspective is essential for progress. In this talk\, I will focus on two critical issues that shape the path toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. First\, role system architecture in improving the fidelity of logical qubits. Second\, there is a need for specialized compilation frameworks to support the constraints and requirements of early fault-tolerant quantum systems. By tackling these challenges\, we can move closer to realizing scalable quantum computing. \nSwamit Tannu is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Sciences department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where he leads the QUEST Research Group. His research focuses on developing architectural and systems abstractions for quantum computers to enable scientific discovery at scale. Swamit’s work has been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award\, the Stamatis Vassiliadis Best Paper Award at Computing Frontiers\, and also been inducted into the MICRO Hall of Fame.  Swamit earned his Ph.D. from Georgia Tech in 2020 before joining the University of Wisconsin-Madison. \nOpen Q&A discussion.

Generative AI offers a transformative opportunity to enhance key aspects of federal cybersecurity\, including threat detection\, vulnerability management\, security operations\, and compliance activities. Moving beyond traditional\, human-driven analyses and pre-defined rules\, Generative AI enables capabilities such as automated anomaly detection\, dynamic response strategies\, and the automation of labor-intensive tasks. These tasks encompass processing large datasets\, generating security documentation\, conducting independent security assessments\, and streamlining activities related to the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and compliance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA). \nThis webinar will examine the application of Generative AI in federal cybersecurity programs. Join us to hear federal experts discuss key priorities\, ongoing progress\, and the challenges of integrating Generative AI into cybersecurity initiatives. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Speakers:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Jennifer R.
