# Federal Agencies Advance Mission-Ready AI

A webcast scheduled for November 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET will examine how federal agencies can move artificial intelligence from pilot projects into mission-ready production. Discussion topics include secure, high-performance AI infrastructure and edge AI for remote or bandwidth-constrained environments. Contractors can use the event to learn about agency infrastructure needs and engage with government and industry leaders; HPE and NVIDIA are identified among the related entities, though their specific roles are not stated.

- The webcast may help contractors assess demand for secure AI compute infrastructure and edge capabilities suited to constrained operating environments.
- Companies developing or delivering AI hardware and infrastructure can use the discussion to understand the transition agencies are seeking from pilots to production, without treating the event as a solicitation or award announcement.
- The event is scheduled for **November 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET** (42 days from the current date).
