C3 Federal Forum
2025
September 9
National Harbor, MD
The world is racing to adopt AI.
And amid the rush,
C3 AI is the voice of reason.
This is a call to action to ensure AI is delivering a competitive edge for the U.S. and its allies in a rapidly shifting global environment.
Join us at C3 AI Federal Forum 2025 to discover how AI that delivers clarity is accelerating progress across government. This one-day event highlights how federal agencies are deploying Enterprise AI with transparency, trust, and mission impact at the core.
You’ll get a front-row seat to see how agencies are simplifying complex systems, modernizing operations, and accelerating results — all with proven, production-grade AI. From fleet readiness to infrastructure resilience, agencies are turning to C3 AI to streamline operations, enhance decision making, and accelerate strategic outcomes. Deploy quickly, operate confidently, and lead intelligently.
Why you should attend:
- Learn from experience. Hear directly from agencies who’ve deployed AI — and what they’ve learned.
- Cut through the noise. Get clear, practical insights on what it takes to move from an initial production deployment to expanding and adopting an AI application at scale.
- See what’s possible. Explore live use cases and demos powered by the C3 Agentic AI Platform.
- Build your network. Connect with leaders and peers shaping the future of public sector innovation.
