About

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.
