During this event, speakers will highlight efforts underway to infuse innovation across federal agencies and how to solve the security obstacles that come with new technologies. Attendees will hear from technologists, innovators and IT leaders on the future of a tech-infused government, how to get there and the trends around public sector use in data, cyber and cloud.

The Next Workforce

“People are our most important resource.” How many times have you heard a manager say that? Yet agencies routinely squander their most valuable asset through a tedious, rule-bound hiring process and a moribund personnel system that seems to promote mediocre management over innovative leadership. The Next Workforce event will explore efforts underway to revitalize the civil service to attract and keep skilled workers and reward and retain the most talented executives. Attendees will hear from peers who have implemented innovative hiring programs; develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics reshaping the Senior Executive Service; and learn tips for creating high-performing organizations.

The Next Administration

The next presidential transition is already underway and will continue to intensify as January 2017 nears. At the Next Administration event, attendees will hear from and interact with veterans of previous transitions, federal officials involved in the 2016-17 process and outside experts. The focus will be on lessons learned from previous transitions, key milestones in this year’s process, and how federal managers and executives can smooth the path for the next set of political leaders. We’ll also discuss how the future administration will address ongoing executive and congressional initiatives in technology, customer experience and digital service.
