Code for America Summit

About

Our annual three-day event is an opportunity for public servants, advocates, entrepreneurs, technologists, and volunteers to get together in one room and break through some of government’s biggest challenges. In 2020, we’ll be focusing on: Design + Delivery; Civic Innovation + Data; Operations + Management; and Technology + Policy.

At the Code for America Summit, over a thousand people come together to improve lives at scale. They’re bringing new ideas, collaborating across old silos, and doing the hard work for the long haul. They’re changing people’s lives for the better, right now. They’re using technology to make government work the way we deserve.

They’re you.

About Code for America
Like you, we’ve got a vision for a new kind of government—where technology, operations, and policy all work together, centered around delivering what people need. Starting with the people who need it the most, we’re working together to deliver a 21st-century government, effectively and equitably serving all Americans.

Tech that doesn’t just meet the public’s expectations. Tech that beats them.
From neighborhoods to countries, the two biggest levers for improving people’s lives at scale are technology and government.

Whether it’s changing lives by automatically clearing hundreds of thousands of criminal records or designing the forms for signing up for food stamps, everyone at our summit pulls both levers to make it all happen.

Learn from experts in 101 and higher-level sessions about what really works, and the fundamentals you need to succeed. Design thinking, user research, prototyping and product management. Agile and iterative, procurement and digital transformation, you’ll get to the substance behind the buzzwords, and what you need to thrive.
