Info: This session brings together state IT leaders to align on safe, responsible AI adoption across agencies. As agencies experiment with AI in isolated ways, challenges remain around skills, governance, and knowing where and when to apply AI effectively—especially amid significant budget constraints.

Info: An interactive session for direct questions and deeper discussion on AI topics presented.

Info: Application rationalization is a government-wide challenge tied to technology risk, cost optimization and business needs. This interactive session will walk through a framework and best practices to begin tackling this challenge, including small group activities to talk through common application portfolio challenges we see across agencies. This session will be especially useful to CFOs, CIOs, enterprise architects, applications leaders and PMO leaders.

Info: Join us for lunch and hear from some of your Washington State peers!

Info: In this session, explore the opportunities and challenges of attracting and integrating neurodiverse talent. What is the business value of cognitively diverse teams? What does neurodiverse talent want? How can technology and AI improve inclusivity and productivity? How big is the talent pool?

Info: This workshop on effective storytelling for business outlines a structured approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding the audience's "pains and gains" to craft compelling narratives. The framework incorporates established models like Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey", guiding participants through exercises to define their story's hero, problem, and desired outcome. The ultimate aim is to equip attendees with skills to create impactful narratives that drive change and achieve business objectives, supported by numerous recommended Gartner resources.

Info: Enjoy some drinks, light bites, and continue conversations with your peers!
