The NetApp Public Sector Partner Academy is designed to empower our partners with the knowledge, skills and resources needed to drive meaningful change in government, education and public services.

Just one day before the current federal budget expires, a prominent federal industry analyst will address key trends and fiscal challenges shaping government spending and contracting. The timely session will cover expectations for the next budget cycle, potential impacts on federal programs and how agencies and industry partners can prepare for shifting priorities.

Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Groen, former Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC), will address how his branch of the government leveraged artificial intelligence to enhance decision making and operational efficiency. Groen will share lessons learned from integrating AI across defense operations and offer a forward-looking perspective on how emerging technologies will shape national security. His remarks come at a pivotal time as federal leaders weigh new investments in innovation amid budget uncertainty.
