Federal Emerging Technology Showcase 2026

This government-wide event will bring together senior federal leaders, practitioners, and industry experts to share proven approaches for accelerating the adoption of emerging technologies, improving operational efficiency, and scaling innovation across government. Building on the success of GSA's recent agency-wide Emerging Technology Showcase, this event expands to a government-wide audience to foster collaboration, share practical solutions, and empower agencies to innovate more rapidly. Agency leaders will also highlight efforts to eliminate unnecessary work, optimize processes, and automate high-volume tasks through initiatives such as GSA's Eliminate, Optimize, Automate (EOA) Playbook [PDF] and the Million Hour Challenge. The event will conclude with a discussion on the future of government operations, including AI, intelligent automation, and the shift from pilot projects to enterprise-scale capabilities.
