Rocky Mountain Artificial Intelligence Network Summer AI Summit 2026

Dear Members,

We’re excited to invite you to the RMAIN Summer AI Summit, hosted by the Rocky Mountain Artificial Intelligence Network (RMAIN) on Thursday, August 6, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM MT at the University of Denver.

This summit will focus on Public Sector AI — how AI is being applied today across government and public service organizations to improve service delivery, strengthen operations, support communities, and drive responsible innovation.

RMAIN is a vibrant, fast-growing community connecting AI professionals, leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators across the Rocky Mountain region. Through our summits and network, we bring together public and private sector practitioners to collaborate, learn, and drive real-world impact through AI.

Based in the Rockies, powered by global ideas.

Our mission is to bridge the gap between AI theory and practical implementation through events, education, and community.

Public sector AI is no longer experimental—it is becoming operational. This summit will focus on real-world AI use cases, lessons learned from implementation, responsible adoption, and where AI is already delivering measurable impact across government and public service organizations.

This summit is designed for government leaders, public sector IT, data and AI teams, industry partners, civic leaders, and anyone involved in responsible AI implementation across public service environments.

Hear from leaders across government and industry on how AI is improving resident experience, increasing operational efficiency, supporting better decision-making, and helping agencies navigate governance, risk, and responsible adoption.
