Google Defense Roadshow: The AI mission advantage

The mandate for defense and national security agencies is clear: transform technology and cybersecurity into a decisive advantage. Meeting this challenge requires modernizing the network backbone, upgrading legacy IT, and accelerating the deployment of secure, accredited AI from the core to the tactical edge.

At the 2026 Google Defense Roadshow in Washington, DC, we will convene the brightest minds from Google Cloud and pioneering trailblazers from across the defense and national security communities. Together, we will explore real-world use cases and emerging technologies that are driving mission success today and safeguarding the operations of tomorrow. Our mission-focused agenda will explore:

• Gemini for Government & Agentic Workflows: Discover how agencies are leveraging highly secure, sovereign AI, including the historic enterprise rollout of Gemini for Government on the Department of War’s GenAI.mil, to automate complex tasks, synthesize massive intelligence datasets, and build autonomous agents for mission support.
• Tactical Edge & Cloud Readiness: Ensure secure, always-on data access and resilient compute power, whether at headquarters, across globally distributed networks, or at the tactical edge.
• Agentic Cyber Defense & Threat Intelligence: Outpace adversaries whose attack cycles now compress to seconds. Explore Google's newly expanded Agentic SOC capabilities and deploy autonomous threat-hunting and detection-engineering agents to protect critical data, secure AI workloads, and intercept modern vector threats.
