Real federal talent strategies. Real impact.

Federal HR leaders are no longer simply filling vacancies. They’re the architects of mission-ready workforces that will define the government's ability to serve American citizens for decades to come.

Hosted by Phenom alongside speakers from Deloitte and the Department of Labor, the day combines peer networking with a forward-looking discussion on what AI-driven hiring, skills-first workforce strategy, and HR modernization actually look like inside a federal environment. Come ready to think differently about what public sector HR leadership can achieve.
