Why You Should Attend This Summit:

The 2019 Blockchain and Automated IT for Government Summit will provide a forum for members of DoD/Government, Private Industry and Academia to discuss the increasing adoption of innovative IT capabilities and the evolving federal applications for blockchain, robotic process automation, emerging machine-learning capabilities, data management technologies and IT architecture services.

The implementation of these critical IT modernization initiatives significantly contributes to the transformation of key government processes into ones with greater efficiency, security, transparency and reliability. Speakers from across the Federal government will highlight pertinent use-cases for these technologies and will discuss the current programs underway at their respective organizations aimed at integrating these technologies. Furthermore, the Summit will feature two panels focusing on hot topics within the community. The first will examine blockchain’s role in transforming the healthcare industry and the second will highlight the use of blockchain in securing the digital thread in additive manufacturing. Attendees at DSI’s 2019 Blockchain & Automated IT for Government Summit will have a unique opportunity to engage in open and honest conversation with key decision makers representing federal agencies including DoD, HHS, Dept, of Treasury and GSA. Attendees will gain valuable insights into navigating the IT technology acquisition process and will hear about urgently needed enterprise technology solutions. Lastly, this Summit offers a unique opportunity to engage with government officials and industry experts regarding federal use cases for disruptive technologies and their perspectives on government IT and Data policies.
