Description

Most employees, federal contractors or otherwise, are using AI in their personal and/or professional life. Few are using it well. Even fewer are using it safely. Federal contractors are under growing pressure to adopt AI, but speed without strategy creates risk. 

This session tackles both problems. 

First, you’ll learn how to actually use AI well: the input-quality principles that drive better outputs, the workflow mistakes costing you time instead of saving it, and a practical mindset shift. Ultimately, turning AI from a novelty into a daily tool. Then, you’ll get an inside look at the data privacy and security considerations that matter most when handling sensitive government data, from third-party risk management to the Department of Defense-grade protections that keep your information private. 

Built for leaders and operators, not just IT teams.
