Federal 100: Emerging tech leaders
Connecting state and local government leaders
With their work in blockchain, game theory, automation, drones, artificial intelligence and quantum encryption, this year's Federal 100 winners show where government is headed.
The annual Federal 100 Awards -- presented by FCW, GCN's sibling site -- honor those in the federal IT community whose work is transforming government and its ability to deliver on critical missions.
While much of government IT is about managing the massive programs that power the day-to-day business of government, there are plenty of people blazing a trail into the next generation of technology. With their work in blockchain, game theory, automation, drones, artificial intelligence and quantum encryption, this year's Federal 100 winners show where government is headed.
The winners will be honored in person at the March 28 Fed 100 gala, but you can read more about each of those individuals on FCW.com:
