Fed Supernova DC

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 PM | Doors, Registration & Light Lunch 1:30–1:40 PM | Welcome 1:40–2:10 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. 2:10–2:55 PM | Fireside: De-Risking Adoption Tara Murphy Dougherty stays on stage for a conversation across government leadership and private capital on what makes adoption safe enough to happen at speed.
