The conference will be held September 7, 2016 at the Washington Hilton.
Opening the conference will be White House presidential transition expert Martha Kumar, who will conduct a special interview with 2016 presidential transition director Tim Horne.
The keynote speakers will each share relevant stories about management, cultural change, and the preparations each agency is making in light of the upcoming presidential transition.
• Undersecretary Deyo will talk about workplace challenges like integrating agency-wide efforts on acquisition management, boosting employee morale and engagement, and coordinating across an agency with highly independent components.
• Deputy Administrator Nuefeld will speak about his agency’s efforts to bring innovative new approaches to the federal government.
• White House presidential transition expert Martha Kumar and 2016 presidential transition director Tim Horne will discuss this year’s new, formalized cross-government presidential transition program.
