Learning Together: Technology Solutions for Policy Challenges

  • Committee on House Administration Hearing Room 1310 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC USA (map)

Join us for an event cohosted by POPVOX Foundation and the Bertelsmann Foundation.

In today's complex policy landscape, technological innovation isn't just helpful — it can unlock new approaches for overcoming legislative hurdles. Across the globe, creative minds are developing cutting-edge tools to address a vast range of policy issues.

Join us for a dynamic, interactive session bringing together US Congressional staff and European counterparts to explore examples of technology addressing policy challenges. You'll witness firsthand how both public and private entities have successfully implemented technology to facilitate legislative work and constituent engagement.

This event will be an open-house style workshop during which you’ll have the opportunity to engage with and find inspiration from:

  • Bertelsmann Foundation’s RANGE Platform: See how foresight technology helps policymakers anticipate challenges before they become crises

  • Wilson Center's Serious Games Initiative: Experience how game-based approaches make complex policy issues accessible to wider audiences

  • European Parliament's Together.EU: Discover how digital tools are closing the gap between policy decisions and citizen engagement

  • POPVOX Foundation: Learn how new LLM-based tools tailored to Congress can improve access to information for Congressional staffers

Everyone is welcome and light breakfast will be provided!

This is the first in a multi-part dialogue focused on emerging technologies and addressing the “pacing problem” – when technological innovation outpaces the ability of governments to keep up. Participants in the first session will have priority registration for subsequent sessions.
