Fed to Tech Summit 2.0

​Back by Demand: Fed to Tech 2.0

​For displaced, frustrated, or startup-curious federal professionals ready to build their next chapter.

​Limited spots. Free registration now open.

​Why This Event?

​The first Fed to Tech Summit proved one thing: there’s massive untapped talent in the federal workforce — and real appetite for something different. We're back to go deeper, get more tactical, and bring even more community support into the mix.

​What to Expect

​This still isn’t a career fair. It’s a high-impact, no-fluff experience where you’ll learn how tech and startups really hire and operate — from people who’ve been exactly where you are. We'll feature breakout sessions and activities custom made to your transition from public service into technical and non-technical roles in tech.

​Panel and Speakers:
Returning mentors and new voices — all former federal pros who made the leap and are here to pay it forward. Full lineup coming soon.

​Quality Networking

​You’ll connect with startup founders, tech leaders, and career transition coaches who get it. No hand-waving. Just clarity, community, and next steps.
