Critical Services can’t shut down
By: John Dombzalski and Anthony Calamito
We’re excited to personally welcome you to GovSummit, a day to bring together the best minds in the public and private sector and celebrate the workforce that delivers critical services in our government and surrounding communities.
As we’ve watched our team work tirelessly to make GovSummit happen, what strikes us is the diversity of people we’re bringing together. The day will include leaders from federal government, the open source community, state & local government, NGOs, and defense — all with different challenges and different visions wanting to work together.
We’ve put together an incredible lineup of leaders in the space who are building scrappy, finding a way, and answering the question of “where?” to reveal new ways to solve hard problems. We’ll dive into that question examining everything from how to build an open source census, to why location accuracy matters for first responders, to how Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen team is providing food in disasters. And, of course, we’re ending the day with a party and barbecue at Hill Country.
It all happens tomorrow. It’s time to lift up the people and critical services teams creating the future of the public sector through grit and commitment to service. We’ll see you tomorrow at Woolly Mammoth.
If you can’t make it in person, follow the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag #GovSummitDC, and we’ll be posting videos from the event shortly after.
