We'll be announcing more details about the conference in the coming weeks. To get updates, follow us on social media or sign up for our mailing list, which is packed with free content, interviews with digital pioneers, and community news.
In the meantime, here's a glimpse of what 2022 was like.
There are plenty of other ways to get involved with FWD50:
Since 2017, thousands of public servants, technologists, and civic innovators from around the world gather at FWD50. In 2020, we pioneered new ways to bring people together online, welcoming dozens more countries to our community. In 2022, we returned to in-person gatherings with a hybrid conference.
For modern leaders, technology is no longer an option. It’s the key to better services, more inclusive design, lower costs, and increased transparency.
But while tech can help government, it’s also fundamentally reshaping society. Technology isn’t just in service of policy—it is policy. Since 2020, we’ve delivered leadership content tailored to the unique challenges that government executives face.
AI. The Internet of Things. Big Data. Cloud Computing. Government is Big Tech for public good, and it’s your job to keep it running smoothly while replacing outdated infrastructure, listening at scale, and anticipating changes.
FWD50 has the deep-dive workshops, hard-won lessons, and diverse expert voices you need to shape the platforms on which governments will run in the future. Join our community to get involved year-round.
Modern society is a partnership between the public and private sector. To keep up with rapid, pervasive change, governments need the help of disruptors in industry.
FWD50 creates meaningful conversations between government and industry. Whether you want to attend, speak, or help support the event, this is the best way to connect with your public service counterparts and chart the course of digital government together.
We've welcomed hundreds of the world's leading digital government experts to our stage, and this year was no exception. Here are just a few of last year's faculty.
