the Bold: Serving
the Public Sector through Open Innovation. As we continue to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of landing on the Moon, the U.S. Government
continues to pioneer exciting ways to tackle large, complex, and impactful
challenges through on-demand talent and open innovation. You’ll hear from
federal agency innovation leaders sharing solutions and success stories made
possible with open talent.
