Join us to learn more about the technologies and techniques that help foster cultures of innovation, workforce productivity and more

Updated October 14, 2022

Today’s government workplace looks vastly different than it did three years ago, when remote and hybrid work were the exception and supporting workplace collaboration often meant installing the latest technology in office conference rooms. Agencies that have invested in building a culture where everyone has a voice, where collaboration across teams and locations is standard, and where employees can embrace curiosity and change are prepared to meet the challenges of today – and tomorrow.

Join us to learn more about the technologies and techniques that help foster cultures of innovation, workforce productivity and more at the Google Government Summit on November 15 in Washington, D.C. Googlers and leaders from government and industry will share best practices and insights to help agencies accelerate innovation to meet their missions. 

A few sessions focused on collaboration, productivity and cultures of innovation include:

Future-Proofing Productivity, Collaboration, and Connections

  • Katie Tobin, Head of Workspace Innovation, Public Sector, Google

  • Dan Berrigan, Lead, Collaborative Tools, Air Force Research Laboratory

  • Zach Walker, Managing Partner, ATX Defense

The pandemic exposed gaps in technology, policy, and resources that hindered productivity and access to services. While agencies were able to overcome those gaps in the short term, the time is now to future-proof agencies’ working environments for the long run. Join this session to learn how to build the workspace of the future and experience the collaboration tools that are driving connections and productivity to meet government missions.

Building an Innovative, Agile Culture to Drive Change

  • Zack Kahn, Division Chief for IT Operations, USAID 

  • Bogi Malecki, Chief Information Officer, New Mexico Higher Education Dept.

Agility is often associated with technology - but for an agency to adapt quickly, teams must also embrace an agile mindset. Join this session to learn how to build a culture that is ready for any challenge and can drive real change to support the mission.

Fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace

Session: I Am Remarkable 

“I Am Remarkable” is a Google initiative empowering women and people from other underrepresented groups to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond. During this session, we explore why technology is not a silver bullet for culture change. People matter in achieving mission success. Learn how to find your voice – because your ideas matter. 

To experience these sessions and many others, register today for the 2022 Google Government Summit. Space is limited for this in-person event. Google is pleased to provide attendance at this event at no cost, where appropriate, under applicable laws.
