Prodacity is where GovTech leaders learn to get mission-critical software into production faster so the people your mission serves get capability sooner. The virtual pass streams the Nashville sessions cleared for broadcast on August 25 and 26. On August 27, you spend the day building a working app with AI. You also get into the private Slack workspace with everyone attending Prodacity, including the people in the room.
Bryon Kroger, Founder and CEO of Rise8, previously co-founded Kessel Run, where he led enterprise-scale DoD DevSecOps transformation. A former Air Force targeteer turned digital innovator, he launched Rise8 in 2019 to help change agents deliver mission outcomes faster.
Lloyd Evans is Head of Cybersecurity at Rise8 and a U.S. Air Force veteran. Throughout his career, he has supported federal agencies including the U.S. Department of War, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Max Reele, Director of Delivery at Rise8, leads cross-practice teams to accelerate mission-critical outcomes. A retired Air Force officer with 20+ years in government tech, he’s held leadership roles at DIU, Kessel Run, and BESPIN.
Dr. Patti Fletcher is a strategic advisor, author of Disrupters, and machine-learning pioneer eliminating structural bias from talent systems. A former SAP, IBM, Workhuman, and Limeade executive, she created The Identity Reset framework to help leaders navigate the AI economy.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
