We are super excited at GovLoop to partner with Young Government Leaders on the Next Generation of Government Summit. Ever since I joined government in 2004, I’ve been passionate about creating the future of government service – from creating and connecting future leaders to reimagining how to deliver services.
This is the first-ever conference for the next generation of government leaders. It’s the conference I always wanted to create and attend. I’ve spoken at probably 100 conferences in the last 5 years so I’ve taken the best speakers I’ve seen and the best structure and tips I’ve seen. I’ll be blogging more as it gets closer to the event (July 6 & 7 ) but it’s been amazing to see where it’s going.
We’ve been working hard and have tons of great new speakers such as:
-David Uejio, Special Assistant to the Director of NIH Human Resources
– Tom Fox, The Federal Coach Column at Washington Post, Director of the
Center for Government Leadership, Partnership for Public Service
– Gautham Nagesh, The Hill
– Ed O’Keefe, Washington Post
– Mary Davie, Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Assisted Acquisition Services, General Services Administration
– Robert Tice Lalka, Global Partnership Liaison, U.S. Department of State
– Matthew Slutsky, Director of Partnerships, Change.org
– Jake Brewer, Engagement Director, Sunlight Foundation
– Frank DiGiammarino, Deputy Coordinator for Recovery Implementation
– Lisa Schlosser, Director for the Office of Information Collection, Environmental Protection Agency
– Amanda Eamich, Director for New Media, USDA
– Jack Bienko, Deputy Director at U.S. Small Business Administration
– Erin Edgerton, Director, New Media and Strategic Communications, Office of National Drug Control Policy
– Sunny Hester, Organization Development Consultant at HHS
Rob Salkowitz, Consultant & Author, Young World Rising
– Mary Cummings, Program Analyst, NNSA
– Jeffrey Vargas, Chief Learning Officer, NNSA
Hope you register (use the special code “GLrockstar” for an extra discount) and check it out..
AND if you register before May 31st you can combine the GovLoop discount (GLrockstar) to the Early Bird discount and get $110 off the listed price of $650/government and $1050/government contractor –> making it $540/government and $940/contractors! Great deal if you ask me!
Good question Harlan. Generally it occurs for two reasons – 1) contractors (especially at large agencies) are more likely to have the training budgets to attend 2) in a sense, many conferences don’t want to become overrun with too many government contractors as they want to preserve it as largely a govy audience and safe place to collaborate (not a bus development place)
Harlan – Thanks for the feedback.
I have to agree with Harlan on this one. I was very excited to read about the event, but I can’t afford a $600 ticket. I guess leadership is only for the rich. I do not want to seem dramatic, but this admission price makes valuable events like this inaccessible for many QUALITY people who live on the average American salary.
