As a technologist working for a government agency or solution provider, you’re always looking to extend your cloud platform skills. Because you know that with the cloud, you can help your agency or your customers innovate to solve their toughest problems and further their mission initiatives faster and more economically than ever before.
You’re also trying to stay up on the latest and greatest when it comes to cloud security and compliance for government, as well as accessibility. Because as you create solutions that modernize government, you want to make sure everyone can use and trust those solutions.
Our upcoming free technical learning and skills practice event was designed just for you. The Microsoft Government Tech Summit in Washington D.C. starts March 5. There, you can join other IT professionals and developers to acquire and apply skills that can help you further government digital transformation.

Bring to the event a problem you’re trying to solve or an initiative you want to further through IT modernization. You won’t just acquire cloud skills from the presentations and demos during the Tech Summit, you’ll get to apply those skills to your or your customers’ specific challenge or goal in immersive sessions and especially in the all-day hackathon on day two. Experiment with our trusted cloud platform and take advantage of the experts on hand to help you innovate with capabilities such as artificial intelligence, big data and advanced analytics, IoT, cognitive services, blockchain, and productivity and digital workplace technologies.

Network, exchange best practices and hear from industry innovators
You and your peers—other IT professionals and developers—and Microsoft and our partners are all aiming for the same thing: Digitally transforming government so everyone can achieve more. That’s not something any one person or entity can accomplish alone. It requires a collaborative effort and sharing best practices. The Tech Summit is a powerful opportunity to exchange knowledge with each other about what’s working and how we can advance the modernization of government.
To kick off this year’s Summit, attendees are invited to an exclusive Women in Technology Breakfast, including an insightful executive exchange where you’ll hear from thought leaders currently making their mark on the government tech community. This invigorating panel discussion features trailblazing women who will share their innovation journey and experiences within the industry.
