Before the Fed100, there are the Rising Stars. 

During the 2024 Rising Stars celebration, Nextgov/FCW and Route Fifty will celebrate the early-career phenoms whose leadership, innovation and all-around extra effort are having a powerful and positive impact in both the federal and state/local IT communities. The Rising Stars program spotlights the best, brightest, and most innovative emerging public sector leaders transforming government IT through skill, cutting-edge technology, and bold strategy, from modernizing legacy systems to harnessing AI, machine learning, advanced cybersecurity, and more.

On December 12, we’ll toast to the accomplishments of this year’s class of Rising Stars and discuss the ways public sector organizations can both cultivate and capitalize on early-career talent. This event will feature real-world examples and IT use cases, illustrating how IT leaders drive their agency missions forward by making public services more efficient, adaptable, and future-focused. These early-career trailblazers are not only making a significant impact today but are also positioned to be the visionary leaders of tomorrow, poised to lead the public sector into a new era of innovation and service delivery. 

This Cocktails & Conversation program offers ample opportunity to rub shoulders with government’s Rising Stars and key leaders from across government and industry. Who knows? A future Fed100 winner might be in the room…
