AI on the Hill is a high-energy, in-person showcase bringing together civic, cybersecurity, and national security AI startups with policymakers, technologists, and public-sector leaders on Capitol Hill.

Hosted by the National AI Association in collaboration with The AI Collective, this event caps a full day of AI programming on the Hill and shifts the conversation from theory to practice—highlighting real, working AI products addressing some of society’s most critical challenges.

Event Run-of-Show

4:00–5:00 PM, doors open for open networking, giving attendees the opportunity to connect across sectors in an informal, high-trust setting

5:00–6:00 PM, 5–7 curated startups will take the stage for fast-paced, three-minute demos showcasing how AI is already being deployed in areas like civic infrastructure, cybersecurity, and national security.

Following the demo night, we’ll continue the conversation with an after-party happy hour at a nearby workspace or bar—creating space for deeper dialogue, relationship-building, and collaboration.
