AS OF FEBRUARY 17, 2020: DUE TO POPULARITY FOR THIS CLASS, WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE WAITLIST ONLY AT THIS POINT.
APPLY TO BE PART OF MARCH SXSW 2020
What is GovCity? It’s a 48-hour think tank for government, corporate and problem-inspired disruptors. Our cohort size is 72 carefully chosen, passionately driven, rising leaders from all industries. We reserve half of the seats for city, state and federal employees - on purpose. It’s our goal to inspire change all over the world, but most importantly, within the traditional systems that were created with great intentions on behalf of citizens — yet fail miserably in serving that mission. Whether it be culture, status quo, outdated or expired processes or procedures, laws that need reformatting or methodologies that need new perspective, GovCity is where you will find your fellow mavericks. And you will surely meet someone willing to push the envelope for positive disruption with you.
Our agenda, schedule, even location, are intentionally vague.
Here’s the most important part. GovCity is an experience done together. We don’t send out an agenda (don’t worry about asking, we don’t provide it until you arrive) because we believe every part of the process is important to encounter together.
Here’s the agenda you’ll have until we spill out a bit more info nearing the event:
If you can be in Austin by noon on March 13th, you’ll be with us (with opportunities to set out and explore SXSW several times during this window of time, too) until noon on March 15.
Your application is not a final commitment, as we understand you have travel to book, families to discuss with, time off of work to request. We will be accepting applications until February 14 and accepting on a rolling basis.
Once accepted, you’ll receive more information and you will have the opportunity to confirm your attendance.
IF YOU ARE ACCEPTED INTO THE COHORT, GOVCITY IS FREE TO ATTEND. WE DO HAVE TRAINING PACKAGES AVAILABLE IF YOUR AGENCY REQUIRES A PURCHASE.
