FULL DAY WORKSHOP

Impact Lab for Leaders: Build a Working App with AI

End the day with software you built yourself and AI fluency no demo will give you. You will get a real read on what these tools handle well, where a human still has to be on the hook for the call, plus a sense of how the work feels when you're the one doing it.

The Impact Lab for Leaders is the one virtual workshop on the virtual pass. Opt in when you register. .

Be honest with your calendar first. This is a full working day of building, 8:30am to 3pm CST on August 27th.

Block the day, tell your team you're heads down, and show up ready to build.

What you'll learn

Continuous Delivery in Government
in an AI-native world

How high-performing teams ship mission-critical software fast.

Bureaucracy Navigation

Tested strategies for procurement modernization, policy workarounds, and the playbooks that turn blockers into solved problems.

Leadership & Culture Change
in the age of AI-native delivery

How the best government leaders build teams that ship, while changing minds inside resistant organizations.

Product & Mission Alignment

How to connect software delivery directly to outcomes so every sprint has a reason and every release advances something real.

Acquisition Modernization

New approaches for contracting, funding,
and governance that enable continuous,
AI-accelerated delivery.

Peer Intelligence

Direct access to the leaders and practitioners dealing with the same problems you are.

Virtual vs In-person

The sessions can stream. The room can't. In Nashville you get the hallway conversations, the dinner table, the side quest with someone from the agency you've been trying to reach for a year. You also pick from six full-day workshops instead of one.

If you can get to Nashville, go. The virtual pass is built for the people who can't.

Who is virtual prodacity for?

Built for the leaders who can't travel

Travel got cut. The mission won't hold for three days. Whatever the reason, the work doesn't change: getting mission-critical software into production faster, so the people your mission serves get the capability sooner.

You'll be in good company with program managers, acquisition leads, engineers, product managers, and contracting officers from across DoW and civilian agencies, plus industry partners working the same problems. Learn alongside leaders shipping under the same mandates, compliance, and timelines you are.

Three days, from wherever you are.

Prodacity 2026 runs August 25 to 27. Get your free virtual pass, and opt into the Day 3 build.

Uncharted. Navigate the mission.
