About the event

Join Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Tuesday, 3rd March 2026 for a one-day event exploring the evolution from generative AI to agentic intelligence in the public sector. Discover how autonomous AI agents are revolutionising service delivery across government, healthcare, education, defence, and policing. Experience an inspiring keynote, participate in specialised hands-on workshops with AWS AI services, and connect with partners showcasing live demos of agentic AI solutions built on AWS. Hear real-world success stories, network with peers, and learn to build production-ready agentic AI platforms.

Three specialised tracks:

Executive Track: This track focuses on the critical decisions at the intersection of AI and business leadership. It provides the strategic clarity to navigate the shift from generative AI to actionable agentic systems with focus on scalability, integration, and value creation. This track aims to provide leaders with a rare opportunity to roll up their sleeves and dive into the world of generative AI.

Technical Track: Builder workshops covering generative AI, agentic AI architectures, and coding assistants with direct AWS AI service implementation. This track introduces builders to the latest generative and agentic AI services and features before breaking into three separate topic-specific breakouts: generative AI, agentic AI and coding assistants.

Legacy Modernisation Track: Builder workshops with proven strategies for modernising legacy systems while integrating AI capabilities and navigating public sector compliance and migration challenges. This track features hands-on workshops across four technology domains - .NET, VMware, Mainframe, and Java.

Topics covered:

Production-Scale AI: Building generative AI applications and intelligent agents using the latest production-ready tools
Legacy Modernisation Pathways: Leveraging agentic AI to accelerate the transformation of legacy applications, specifically for Windows, Mainframe, VMware, and Java environments
Agentic Business Intelligence: Enhancing decision-making through AI-powered analytics and data insight
Developer Productivity: Optimising software lifecycles with coding assistants and spec-driven design
Next-Gen Customer Service: Delivering AI-powered support and engagement through Amazon Connect
Governance & Trust: Ensuring AI security, compliance, and responsible governance within public sector frameworks

Registration is limited to public sector professionals.

NOTE: Participants are required to bring their personal laptops to follow along during hands-on activities.
