Shift Happens

Federal IT isn’t standing still, and neither are the rules, priorities, and playbooks shaping it. Shift Happens is a one-day MeriTalk forum where government and industry leaders examine what’s changing in how agencies fund, buy, secure, authorize, and scale technology – and what those shifts mean in practice. Candid, policy-forward conversations will explore the shift in approach across AI, cybersecurity, quantum, acquisition, cloud authorization, and digital services, focusing on practical implications, implementation realities, and what comes next.
