ATARC'S Federal AI Summit 2024 | ATARC (Advanced Technology Academic Research Center) | 29 February 2024 | Carahsoft Technology Corporation, 11493 Sunset Hills Rd Suite 100, Reston, VA 20190, USA

The Advanced Technology Academic Research Center (ATARC) was established in September 2012; the Advanced Mobility Academic Research Center (AMARC) was formed in response to the Digital Government Strategy, which was released earlier that year. AMARC founder Tom Suder played a prominent role in the formation of the DGS and created ATARC to continue the dialogue between government, industry, and academia.

AMARC hosted a pair of Federal Mobile Computing Summits before being asked by the General Services Administration in 2013 to hold additional events on the topics of Cloud Computing and IT Networks.

As AMARC’s collaborative focus changed from Mobile to Federal IT, so too did its name. In early 2014, Suder renamed AMARC the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center and within the next year, ATARC expanded its portfolio to include Cybersecurity, DevOps, and Data & Analytics and Health IT events.
