Welcome to the Post-Event Resource Center

On May 24 experts from government, military and industry came together for Think Gov 2018: Technology for a smarter government. Think Gov was a call for government leaders to learn what’s possible, make it relevant in your world, and find the right partner to make it happen. 

This Resource Center provides you the opportunity to view the videos and presentations from mainstage and breakout sessions that took place throughout the day, as well additional resources to help you apply the latest in advanced analytics and augmented intelligence technologies to reveal new insights and improve mission outcomes.

Whether or not you were able to join us in-person at Think Gov, we encourage you to explore this resource page and share it with your colleagues to gain additional insight into the latest trends in AI, Blockchain, Cloud, Data and Security and other emerging technologies.
