2026 Senior Executive Leadership Summit

MAP the Moment. Lead What’s Next.

Federal leadership is evolving in real time.

Expectations are rising, challenges are more complex, and leaders are being asked to deliver meaningful results while navigating constant change. The 2026 Senior Executive Leadership Summit is designed to support leaders in meeting that moment with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Centered on Merit, Accountability, and Performance (MAP), this year’s Summit focuses on how these principles show up in today’s federal environment. Not as abstract ideas, but as practical leadership responsibilities that shape decisions, teams, and outcomes every day.

This is a space for thoughtful conversation and shared learning.

Together, we will explore how to apply merit in ways that strengthen talent and trust, how to approach accountability with clarity and consistency, and how to drive performance while balancing mission demands and workforce realities.

You will engage with federal executives, cross sector leaders, and strategic partners who bring both perspective and real world experience. The goal is to create meaningful dialogue, strengthen leadership capability, and support the continued evolution of the federal workforce.

Whether you are leading today or preparing for what is next, this Summit offers an opportunity to connect, reflect, and grow alongside peers who understand the responsibility of public service.

Federal employees at all levels are encouraged to attend.

June 23 to 24, 2026
