Please join us on June 25 and 26 for the Federal News Network civilian Cloud Exchange 2024, presented by Maximus.

June marks the five-year anniversary of the Office of Management and Budget’s release of the Cloud Smart strategy. The shift to moving workloads and applications to the cloud when it makes sense strategically – versus keeping some things on premise or standing up hybrid environments – is playing out in every agency’s IT modernization strategy.

Over the course of two afternoons, Federal News Network will explore civilian agency progress in using the cloud to improve digital services and federal missions:

  • On Day 1, we will focus on the need for secure digital services and the evolution of policies and processes to achieve trusted services.
  • On Day 2, we will share real-world case studies that spotlight successes in using cloud to impact mission effectiveness.

Our 2023 Cloud Exchange event featured experts from the National Institutes of Health, Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the departments of Energy, Justice, Transportation, and Health and Human Services.
