Join us for a panel discussion on design, technology and development in government. As government offices play a huge role in the economy, culture, and community of DC – they also host a mixture of design constraints and tech challenges completely unique to the public sector. This inaugural event invites driven designers and developers from across local and federal government offices to offer an insider’s perspective on the creative building process.
