State and local agencies and higher ed institutions are facing a device refresh that will set their AI capability for the next six years, and the budget case has to be made now. This roundtable brings public sector IT leaders together to compare what the delay is costing and which AI use cases have actually survived legal review and earned renewal. Subject matter experts representing Insight Enterprises Public Sector, Surface, Snapdragon, and Copilot will join the conversation on what on-device AI changes for regulated public sector work.

BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises Public Sector, Microsoft Surface, Snapdragon & Microsoft Co-Pilot invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

• The Real Cost of Standing Still
  • Attendees will compare how much effort is spent on extended support and out-of-warranty hardware, and how much longer that is sustainable.
• Where the Cloud AI Path Stops
  • Legal and records teams have already ruled out AI use cases at many organizations, and attendees will compare where those lines got drawn. That opens the question of whether on-device processing changes the answer, and whether anyone is writing NPU requirements into a device spec yet.
• The Use Cases That Actually Got Renewed
  • Attendees will share examples of AI workflows returned measurable staff time and which pilots quietly stalled.
• The Argument That Gets It Funded
  • The group will compare the cases that worked with budget offices and boards against the ones that fell flat. Attendees will weigh staged refreshes against single-cycle buys, and how much an existing contract vehicle really compresses the timeline.
