The health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners and communities are top priorities for World Wide Technology and we have continued to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-9) outbreak closely.

In full alignment with World Wide Technology, we have collectively made the decision out of an abundance of caution to postpone AI Industry Day which was previously scheduled for Thursday, March 19, 2020.

Your interest in the AI Industry Day is highly appreciated. Please look for further communications as we finalize our future event date, as our goal is to reschedule the event.

As this situation evolves, we are committed to limiting the spread of the virus and safeguarding the health of our communities.

Join government and industry leaders and learn how to improve your organization's AI and data maturity, resulting in better data policies and practices around individual programs.

Artificial intelligence has brought enticing new prospects for speed, accuracy, and connectivity to the government and businesses horizon. Agencies and companies have made strides in governed self-service access, alongside data security and reliability. Now, join World Wide Technology’s AI Industry Day to explore the final frontier in AI maturity.

At AI Industry Day, we’ll investigate the technology base of premier artificial intelligence capabilities, from algorithms to infrastructure. We’ll spotlight government agencies that developed new data practices in order to address operational pain points and advance toward AI maturity. And, we’ll feature customer use cases to explore how one company reformed their practices and implemented new technology tools in order to reach the final frontier in AI maturity.

1:00 PM	AI for Human Capital Development: Getting Smarter on Talent Acquisition In today’s technology-driven economy, the federal workforce is under enormous pressure. The “shelf life” of skills continues to shrink, and automation and AI threaten to displace entire job categories. Hiring has never been more of a challenge as government agencies face massive skills shortfalls, and human capital leaders are focused on understanding which upskilling and education opportunities offer the strongest return on investment. As federal executives grapple with the future of work in a public sector context, some of the very same “disruptive” technologies also have the potential to help human capital leaders more effectively discover talent. This session will examine what the future holds for AI as a tool for human capital development with insights from technology leaders and educators who are pioneering this new approach to talent discovery. Adam Wray, Founder and CEO, AstrumU
1:45 PM	Panel: Human Capital AI Artificial intelligence is transforming the way that we hire, train, reskill, and upskill, throughout the public and private sectors. Government agencies are applying new AI and data tactics to human capital processes. What are other ways to think about adding data and analytics to disrupt existing processes? How can agencies measure and influence value-creation? Justin Lynch, Director for Training and Recruiting AI Talent, National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence Major General JP McGee, Director, Army Talent Management, Department of Defense Joanie Newhart, Associate Administrator for Acquisition Workforce Programs, Office of Federal Procurement Policy, Office of Management and Budget Kenneth H. Wong, PhD, Director of the Northern Virginia Innovation Center, Virginia Tech
