BE THERE

A podcaster, a scientist, an outreach strategist, an icecream maker, a workforce engagement leader, a hurricane hunter and a 3D printing innovator will take the stage on October 11.

Who are government’s unsung heroes?  At the third annual BOLD program, we’re shining a spotlight on the leaders, thinkers, and doers who are pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to be a public servant. Five bold innovators, selected by a panel of Government Executive and Nextgov editors from hundreds of peer applications, will take the stage to present their innovative programs, projects and plans for the future and share how they're making a difference within their agencies.

Join us to be inspired, and enjoy a complimentary cocktail reception after to share your innovative ideas.
