On April 12, 2023 we held our Disruptive Tech Summit:  Programs & Change Agents Shifting the Landscape. During the event we heard from the Federal & Department of Defense IT innovators and game changers who are positively transforming how Government fulfills its missions. Attendees heard how leaders are using technologies in new and disruptive ways to have a measurable impact on the organizations they serve.

The event also recognized our 2023 Disruptive Tech Program and Change Agent Award Winners. These Awards recognize Federal IT and Consulting leaders and programs, from both industry and Government, which are working every day to take calculated risks and positively disrupt the Federal market. There are two Disruptive Tech Award Categories – one to recognize individuals and one to recognize programs.
