Embracing a culture of innovation in government.

U.S. government leaders have launched a wide-ranging innovation initiative to attract America’s top technology minds at tech hubs like Silicon Valley, Boston, Austin, Chicago and Seattle.

GovernmentCIO Media is hosting a two-part forum with breakfast and evening sessions to discuss how government agencies have connected with these emerging technology companies and worked through the contracting and hiring roadblocks to embrace this innovation culture.

Join us at the Wharf Dockmaster Building to meet these leaders. This is a unique opportunity to learn from the executives leading this innovation movement inside and outside government.
