Brains Behind NextGen

The NextGen Summit brings together government employees eager to make positive change happen in their career and their government. The schedule and speakers that take shape at the summit are often amazing and are never selected by accident.

Since the beginning of NextGen, in 2010, there has always been a group of people carefully considering each session and speaker presented at the summit. The schedule and lessons taught are provided to the attendees by people who want great training, need their employees to have great training and aim to fill those needs with this summit.

Without further ado, here is the great team working to provide you a wonderful, educational and fabulous 2015 Next Generation of Government Training Summit:
