The NextGen Gov Training Virtual Summit has always been about one thing: bringing public servants together to learn from one another and grow in their careers.
We’re hosting the upcoming virtual summit on Wednesday, May 20, with closing keynotes taking place at 3–4 p.m. ET/12–1 p.m. PT. These final two sessions are designed to leave you motivated, grounded, and ready to take what you’ve learned back to your agency. Here’s a look at what’s in store:
Keynote 1: Building Credibility and Trust in Public Service
Trust is the foundation of effective government work — whether you’re collaborating with colleagues, briefing leadership, or serving the public. In this session, Javier Inclán, Assistant Inspector General for Management, National Science Foundation, Office of Inspector General, will break down what it really takes to build credibility in a complex, high‑visibility environment.
He’ll share practical ways to show integrity through your actions, communicate openly, and strengthen relationships across your organization. If you’re looking to grow your influence and lead with confidence, this keynote will give you tools you can use right away.
Keynote 2: The Future of Government Leadership
Government is changing fast. New technologies, shifting workforce expectations, and rising public needs are reshaping what it means to lead. This closing keynote brings together forward‑thinking voices from the public sector to explore how leaders can navigate this moment with clarity and purpose.
You’ll hear perspectives on everything from AI adoption to organizational culture — and walk away with actionable ideas to help your team adapt, innovate, and stay mission‑focused.
Why You Won’t Want to Miss It
NextGen is more than a training event. It’s a community — a place where public servants at every level can learn from experts and from each other. These closing keynotes capture that spirit perfectly: practical, honest, and focused on helping you grow.
Whether you’re early in your career or stepping into bigger leadership roles, these sessions will leave you inspired and better equipped for the challenges ahead.
