An Evening with the U.S. Digital Service Team

An hour and a half.

"I want us to ask ourselves every day, how are we using technology to make 
a real difference in people's lives."
President Barack Obama


Behind the scenes within the Obama Administration, the U.S. Digital 
Service (USDS) is quietly rethinking--and remaking--the way the federal 
government harnesses digital technology to serve the nation in the 21st 
Century. In this Revolutionaries evening, we will meet the brain trust 
behind this landmark initiative.

USDS was created in 2014 by the White House and is housed within the 
Office of Management and Budget. It began as a small team of digital 
experts who were recruited to repair the HealthCare.gov website. That 
elite digital team now works in collaboration with other government 
agencies to make websites more consumer friendly, to identify and fix 
problems, and to help upgrade the government's technology infrastructure. 
Along the way they are saving taxpayers a lot of money as well.

We have assembled a panel of USDS leaders for a conversation with Museum 
CEO John Hollar about the great work they'e doing to basically redefine 
the experience of government. They will talk about how they were recruited 
and why they continue to serve, and what's so powerful about the idea of 
"giving back." In addition, they have a steep recruitment goal to hit to 
help build an ongoing pipeline of tech talent bound for the nation's 
capitol -- and the response to their pitch has been overwhelming.
