A new generation of tech leaders is building AI for government. From how agencies communicate to how leaders make decisions, they’re reimagining entire systems across the public sector.
This panel brings together builders who've worked at Google and Twitter, from Congress to City Hall, to discuss what it really takes to modernize government: how you design for public-sector users, earn trust, and navigate the compliance landscape that shapes what’s possible.
Speakers:
- Rex Brown, Government Affairs & Public Policy at Google
- Shannon Beckham, CEO at Chief AI (former Congress, Together AI)
- Mark Friese, COO at Rep'd (former Twitter)
- Rachel Stern, Founder of GovTech Ventures
- Stephen Caines, CIO & Budget Director for the City of San José
Who Should Join:
- Founders and operators building in govtech, civic tech, and other regulated industries
- Policymakers, procurement officials, and public sector decision-makers
- Investors exploring durable AI opportunities beyond consumer markets
- Journalists, civic technologists, and anyone curious about the next wave of public sector innovation
