Registration

NSPN and the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) are teaming up for a one-of-a-kind opportunity to reimagine the future of government. Join us for a highly interactive workshop designed to explore how our public systems can work more efficiently.

We’ll explore what it means to build public systems that are adaptive, trusted, and fit for purpose.

At Politics Aside, we believe that shaping a better world isn’t a spectator sport—it’s a shared responsibility. This design-thinking workshop invites you to move beyond observation and into collaboration. Together with fellow participants, you’ll tackle real challenges and prototype new approaches to public systems that work smarter, faster, and more equitably.

If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and help imagine what government could be, this space is for you.
