Better government, one form at a time
Free virtual event | September 30, 2025 | 12–5 p.m. ET
Presented by the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation and Code for America
Thank you for helping make our third annual FormFest a huge success!
We brought together more than 2,000 form fanatics representing 47 states, 3 territories, and 24 countries across the globe and had over 50 speakers from 26 organizations share their passion for building better government, one form at a time.
FormFest session recordings will be available on the Beeck Center’s Digital Service Network and Code for America YouTube channels in the next few weeks.
FormFest is a free virtual event that showcases governments working to make services accessible to everyone through forms. Discover best practices and tools that are shaping the future of form design and service delivery.
Whether you’re a government decision-maker, a designer, a civic tech enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of government service delivery, you’ll find your people at FormFest.
