An Evening Discussion with the U.S. Digital Service Team | Mountain View

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Behind the scenes within the Obama Administration, the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) is quietly rethinking—and remaking—the way the federal government harnesses digital technology to serve the nation in the 21st Century. In this Revolutionaries evening, you will meet the brain trust behind this landmark initiative.

USDS was created in 2014 by the White House and is housed within the Office of Management and Budget. It began as a small team of digital experts who were recruited to repair the HealthCare.gov website. That elite digital team now works in collaboration with other government agencies to make websites more consumer friendly, to identify and fix problems, and to help upgrade the government’s technology infrastructure. Along the way they are saving taxpayers a lot of money as well.

They have assembled a panel of USDS leaders for a conversation with Museum CEO John Hollar about the great work they’re doing to basically redefine the experience of government. They will talk about how they were recruited and why they continue to serve, and what’s so powerful about the idea of “giving back.” In addition, they have a steep recruitment goal to hit to help build an ongoing pipeline of tech talent bound for the nation’s capitol – and the response to their pitch has been overwhelming.

This event is free but registration is required.
