Emerging technologies (ET) are evolving at a rapid cadence measured in weeks, not months or years. Likewise, innovation is much broader than inventing or adopting a new technology – it includes changing how business is done to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and customer service. The technologies that make our lives easier and the forward innovative thinking that breeds creativity, will catapult us into the next level of government IT.

ACT-IAC has created the Emerging Technology and Innovation Conference, to be held virtually May 25 – 26, 2021, to focus on the innovations and emerging technologies that are on the forefront of change in Federal IT. This year’s agenda revolves around three major themes: Resilient Infrastructure, Emerging Technologies, and the U.S. Science and Technology Agenda.

In addition to a dynamic set of speakers and opportunities to engage, the conference will celebrate the winners of the 2021 ACT-IAC Innovation Awards, who will share their innovation successes and lessons learned. You’ll also hear from successful industry emerging technology and innovation solutions in our Showcase of Excellence. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to network with your peers and discover the art of the possible as we collaborate together to accelerate the delivery of government mission outcomes.

Pete will speak as part of the Smart Cities Panel on Tuesday, May 26, 9:45-10:45am EST.
