Code for America Summit 2026

Code for America’s annual Summit brings the entire civic tech ecosystem together to break through our toughest challenges and celebrate our biggest wins.

The government landscape is changing rapidly, and we’re determined to meet the moment with Summit 2026. We’re hosting the event in Chicago, a new city for us, and we believe a fresh setting will help us all surface new ideas as we think through how to make government work better for everyone.

Summit 2026 will be an in-person immersive experience featuring keynotes, breakout sessions, lightning talks, our Demo Lab, and more. Attendees can expect time to exchange ideas with their peers from around the country, showcase what’s working and what’s not in their particular contexts, and find a community of fellow innovators to draw inspiration from.

What to expect:

• Explore what’s possible and learn from your peers
• Hear about the challenges our systems face
• Gain skills to design policy with tech that serves all people
• Navigate and shape the tech landscape to make it work better for everyone
