There’s no doubt that data, analytics and AI are transforming the way governments deliver citizen services, identify fraud, and increase safety both in cyberspace and across the globe. Whether your agency is focused on improving citizen services, navigating a shifting landscape of data security and privacy, rooting out fraud, waste and abuse, delivering decision advantage against foreign adversaries, or monitoring and delivering healthcare, having a strong foundation in data, analytics and AI to support your mission is critical . 

On March 7, Databricks is hosting a Government Data Symposium in Washington, DC, focused on the critical role of data, analytics and AI within the public sector. We hope you’ll join us. In addition to networking with industry peers, you’ll hear from data leaders and innovators from agencies across the public sector speaking to the big data challenges they’re solving and the government-specific use cases they’re investing in across their data estate.
