Great presentation this morning at #FWD50 from Jesse Samasuwo on #gov adoption of #AI. I love the leadership that Jesse and the folks at @apolitical.bysk.social bring to #government. @fwd50conf.bsky.social is one of my favorite conferences. #Apolitical

Exactly a month ago today, #18F was shut down.

This is the same group that:
🔹 Built civilrights.justice.gov, ada.gov, and findtreatment.gov
🔹 Created the USDA WIC toolkit and FBI Crime Data Explorer
🔹Authored the guide to de-risking government technology projects

At #FWD50, we believe in learning from what works so we’re devoting time to learning from their successes. Join public servants from around the world to learn from 18F alumni on April 15th: https://access.fwd50.com/feed

🏛️"Demos, not memos" is one of our mantras for #FWD50 2025.

On April 15, we're diving deep into Product Management for government, featuring alumni from #18F sharing what might have been.

Learn how product thinking yields incredible results in public service.

Another great podcast episode from @RyanAndrosoff this time with Andres Raieste from Estonia.

This is the second podcast from this year's #FWD50 conference in Ottawa. I would definitely recommend that folks in government listen to Trust is Everything | Ep 27

I liked the line about the importance of demonstrating incremental improvements. Starting with the tax department is also interesting.

Great discussion between Ryan Androsoff & Public Digital's Anna Hirschfeld & Alexandra MacEachern. I sadly missed #FWD50 this year, but it was great to hear about the work to bring the leadership behind #ARadicalHow to Canada.
