Virtual Summit FAQ

Is it free?
Yes, the NextGen Gov Training Virtual Summit is completely free. There is no fee to register, attend or watch the recorded sessions. 
Who should attend?

The virtual summit is specifically designed for public servants across federal, state and local levels who are invested in advancing their government careers. Registration is open to everyone. Government contractors are welcome to register and attend.

Past virtual summits routinely attract 2,000+ registrants.

Do I have to pre-register for sessions?

No, you can attend sessions as you please! You can come and go from sessions throughout the live-day virtual summit and review all recordings after the event.

Please note: to earn CPE credit for a specific session, you must attend the entirety of that session.

How do I earn CPE credit?
Attendees can earn up to 5 continuing professional education (CPE) credits. To qualify, participate in the full live session block, respond to all polls, and complete the evaluation using your registration email. GovLoop is registered with NASBA; state boards have final authority on acceptance. 
Can you explain how the sessions are aligned with OPM's ECQs?
Session content maps to the updated OPM ECQs—including Leading People, Achieving Results, Driving Efficiency, Merit & Competence, and Commitment to the Rule of Law & the Principles of the American Founding—so you can document leadership growth on IDPs and performance plans.
Who hosts the virtual summit?
NextGen is produced by GovLoop, the knowledge network for 300,000+ government innovators. Our mission is simple: connect government to improve government. The live-day virtual event is hosted on the Zoom platform.

Testimonial 1

The PacCoast Conference Center is located just south of San Francisco, so once the workday is done, you're close to all kinds of fun and amenities. Convenient shopping, dining, and beaches are all just a few minutes away, but if you want to explore a bit more, you can be in the popular Mission District or Sunset District in less than a half an hour!
