Organizer’s description

Fed Supernova DC Presented by Air. Hosted by STATION DC. Fed Supernova DC brings technology and Washington into real conversation with one another. November 5: Deliver Capability Faster, Closing the Readiness Gap America can invent it, fund it, and legislate it. It still cannot field it fast enough. This edition puts the administration writing the rules on the same stage as the leaders fielding them, alongside the founders building the answers. Where Fed Supernova Austin runs Department of War heavy, the DC edition leans into the administration. With eighteen months left, that is where the pressure that moves the dial comes from. One afternoon, straight talk, no translation required. 1:00–1:10 PM | Welcome from STATION DC Doors and registration. 1:10–1:40 PM | Keynote: The Readiness Gap with Tara Murphy Dougherty A keynote from Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air, on what it takes to move a capability from proven to fielded, and where the time actually goes. 1:40–2:25 PM | De-Risking Adoption A conversation across government leadership and industry on what makes adoption safe enough to happen at speed. It covers where the risk actually sits, who carries it today, and what would have to change for a program office to move on a commercial capability without waiting for someone else to go first. With Dr. Keith L. Hardiman, Deputy Chief Information Officer, Department of the Air Force, and Tara Murphy Dougherty, CEO of Air. Moderated by Morgan Kaplan, Head of Public Sector, Vanta.
