Georgetown Law's Tech Foundations for Congressional Staff is an immersive two-day program covering new developments in current and emerging technologies.
Join fellow Hill staffers for in-depth conversations with technologists, business leads, practitioners and academics about key areas of technology policy.
Presentations cover how various technologies work, how they’re being deployed, the policy questions they raise, and how businesses, policymakers and civil society are addressing those questions in the real world.
Tech Foundations is open to all current, full-time staffers serving in any Congressional committee or personal office. Due to the interactive and frank nature of the discussions, the event will not be livestreamed with the exception of Tuesday's sessions on State and Private Enforcement to Protect Consumer Privacy, and the Role and Powers of the FTC. Other sessions are off the record, and all sessions are closed to press.
Breakfast is served from 8.30 a.m.; lunch is also provided. Breakout rooms are available if you need to step out to handle something for work.
Tech Foundations is designed to comply with Congressional ethics rules. If you have questions about your ability to participate, please contact the appropriate ethics committee.
