Systems Work Force Summit

This Summit is designed as a catalyst for alignment and action. It brings together decision-makers and thought leaders across domains and technologies to move beyond fragmented initiatives and toward a shared, system-level response.

The focus is on:

• Aligning perspectives across policy, industry, agencies, professional organizations, and education
• Identifying structural gaps in system competencies
• Defining coordinated actions which can strengthen the systems workforce
