Panel: The Future of Work

Today’s workforce is vastly different from the workforce of May 2019. Since the Pandemic hit in March of 2020, the workforce quickly had to shift to a remote and hybrid workforce. Emerging technologies are evolving at a faster pace than ever before, especially since the workforce made the pivot to a telework environment. Throughout this panel topic experts will discuss the new and evolving technologies that are driving real change and innovation in the public sector. Topic experts will discuss the future of the Federal workforce, and the emerging technology that will help it get there. How has the shift to telework given the opportunity to reskill the Federal workforce? What emerging technologies have helped with this reskilling process?
