Local decision makers, including city and county leaders, have a critical role to play in creating pathways to economic mobility—but too often, the data and systems that could help identify and support residents in need are fragmented or underutilized.
This 90-minute virtual summit will explore how local governments can use data and AI together to improve economic outcomes in their communities by surfacing gaps, targeting services more effectively, and ensuring residents can access the tools and programs that move them toward financial stability and long-term economic security.
From predictive analytics to AI-powered service delivery, this event will show how local leaders are modernizing their approach to economic mobility using technology that’s smart, ethical, and community-centered.

Keynote: Data + AI for Opportunity – Getting Beyond the Buzzwords
Q&A with Lynn Overmann, Executive Director of the Beeck Center

Digital Service Network (DSN) is hosting ‘Behind the Curtain: A Digital Delivery Story Slam’ – a virtual Moth-style story slam designed to celebrate their experiences and the often-unseen heart behind public service. ❤️
Let’s celebrate the great work that’s been done thus far and the humans who made it possible! This event will draw back the curtain on the essential human work that makes digital service truly service. We want to hear the tales of dedication, skill, and the moments that made you proud.
If you are a former federal employee who worked in a digital delivery role and were fired, placed on administrative leave, or otherwise dismissed since January 2025, we invite you to join us to share your story or simply listen and connect with others. Share this with all the former federal employees in your network who deserve to have their voices amplified and their contributions celebrated!
