There are only a few days left before the NextGen Government Training Virtual Summit, and it’s a professional development opportunity you won’t want to miss.
If you join us online Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026, you’ll have the chance to attend career-focused sessions tailored to supporting federal, state, and local government employees as they grow in their careers. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with your peers, download free resources, and hear from public sector thought leaders and career experts. Did we mention it’s free, and that you can earn up to five CPE credits throughout the day?
Let’s take a closer look at how we’ll be wrapping up the day, with two talented closing keynote speakers. You can also explore the entire agenda here.
[Closing Keynote 1] Future Skills for the Future of Government
AI, automation and changing public expectations are reshaping government—but technical skills are only part of the equation. Our keynote speaker will explore the capabilities that will help public servants thrive in the years ahead. From adaptability and communication to critical thinking and continuous learning, you’ll discover practical ways to keep growing throughout your career.
Speaker: Cardell Johnson, Managing Director, Strategic Issues, U.S. Government Accountability Office
[Closing Keynote 2] Everyday Leadership: Small Actions, Big Impact
Not every contribution makes headlines, but every act of leadership creates momentum. Whether you’re mentoring a colleague, improving a process, or finding a better way to serve the public, your actions have a ripple effect that extends far beyond your own role. We’ll close the Summit by celebrating the impact public servants make every day—and challenging you to carry that momentum forward.
