Euna Solutions Announces Explorer Sam Cossman as Keynote Speaker for Eunaverse 2026

Euna Solutions®, a leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based software for the public sector, today announced explorer and technology entrepreneur Sam Cossman as the keynote speaker for Eunaverse 2026, Euna’s annual customer conference taking place September 14–16, 2026, at the Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas.

Cossman is known for using emerging technology to explore some of the world’s most extreme and inaccessible environments. He has led expeditions into active volcanoes and used technologies, including drones and 3D mapping, to capture data from places once considered impossible to reach. At Eunaverse, he will draw on those experiences to explore how leaders can make decisions amid uncertainty, manage calculated risk, and apply technology with purpose.

“Sam has built his career around entering environments where there is no established playbook and figuring out what comes next; public sector leaders are navigating a similar moment,” said Jennifer Edwards, Chief Marketing Officer at Euna Solutions. “I have followed Sam’s career closely, and what’s stayed constant is his instinct to solve problems for good, even as the tools he’s built have found new purposes. I’m excited that he can bring his expertise and insights to our customers.”

Public Sector Leaders Share What’s Working

Joining Cossman at Eunaverse 2026 will be public sector leaders and industry experts who will share firsthand lessons, strategies, and real-world results from their organizations.

Featured speakers include:

  • Donald Moos – CFO, Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians

  • Christian Fullergraf – Principal, CliftonLarsonAllen (CLA)

  • Bashar Dimitry – Assistant Director, Office of Development and Grants, City of Detroit

  • Mindy Sawyer – Lead PEPS Engineer, Texas Department of Transportation

  • Justin Dayhoff – CFO, Clark County School District

  • Kelly Weaver – Budget Director, Frederick County, MD

Sessions will focus on practical challenges facing public sector teams today, from streamlining financial and procurement processes to managing grants, improving payments, strengthening collaboration, and determining where AI and automation can deliver meaningful value.

Practical Learning Built for Euna Customers

Over three days, Eunaverse 2026 will offer opportunities for learning, professional development, and peer connection built specifically for Euna customers. Attendees can:

  • Participate in more than 30 deep-dive product sessions, interactive workshops, and roundtable discussions

  • Get hands-on, one-on-one training with Euna product experts

  • Attend professional development courses

  • Connect with public sector professionals from cities, counties, school districts, and agencies across North America

  • Explore Euna’s AI capabilities and learn how emerging technology can support public sector teams

  • Share feedback and help influence Euna’s product roadmaps

As public sector organizations face pressure to modernize services, adopt emerging technologies, and deliver more with limited resources, Eunaverse 2026 will give Euna customers opportunities to share practical strategies, learn from peers, and explore new ways to improve operations.

“Public sector leaders are being asked to do more, adapt faster, and make smart decisions about technologies like AI while staying focused on the people and communities they serve,” said Tom Amburgey, CEO of Euna Solutions. “Eunaverse gives those co-innovation conversations the space to take shape. Our customers learn what is working elsewhere, get practical answers to the challenges they face, and leave with ideas they can put into action.”

Professional development courses will be provided by Jon McNaughtan, Ph.D., Professor and Associate Dean at Texas Tech University and a leadership coach who has worked with county governments in 46 states, as well as major organizations including Verizon, Walmart, and Charles Schwab. Eunaverse offers attendees opportunities to move beyond high-level conversations and work directly with peers and experts on the challenges they face every day.
