What We Do Together

Fireside talks with government leaders: Leaders from major agencies share how they're modernizing systems, integrating AI into public services, and navigating the unique challenges of government technology. What works, what doesn't, and what's coming next.

Peer networks across agencies: Share what's happening in your agency and learn what other departments are doing. The best innovations in government often come from people connecting across silos. We break down those walls here.

Civic tech showcases: Organizations building tools to serve the public show their work. Learn about open-source projects, new platforms, and innovations that are changing how government operates.

Career path clarity: Understand roles and growth opportunities in government. Transitions, GS levels, specialized paths, how to navigate bureaucracy without losing your vision. Real talk from people who've done it.

If your agency or civic tech organization is doing meaningful work, we want to hear about it. Whether you're modernizing a legacy system, building new tools, or rethinking how government serves people, showcase what you're doing. Connect with talented people who want to work in public service.
