Government AI Deep Dive: Prompt Engineering, Tools, Workflow Automation, and Governance

Most municipal IT leaders know AI matters but face a dual challenge: their teams aren't leveraging its real capabilities, and employees have unmanaged access to cloud AI tools that create genuine data privacy and residency risks for government operations.

This three-hour session covers the full modern AI stack, including:

Effective prompt engineering techniques
Workflow automation with orchestration platforms
AI-assisted software development
The landscape of available tools
Critical cloud versus on-premise deployment considerations for sensitive government data

Through live demonstrations of real tools and workflows, attendees will see what's possible for resource-constrained IT teams. Participants will leave with:

An expanded view of what's achievable
A survey of today's best tools
The knowledge to evaluate and pursue AI adoption in their organizations.
