Share your idea today 

FormFest is dedicated to amplifying the voices and perspectives of government employees. If you work in government at any level, we want to hear from you. If you are not a government employee but your work intersects with government, we encourage you to apply with your government partner.

What we’re looking for

We’re excited that you want to be a part of FormFest 2025. To make your proposal stand out, consider including:

  • The project: What specific government forms-related tool or initiative will you feature?
  • Timeliness: Why is your topic relevant and pressing right now?
  • Key takeaways: What valuable lessons will attendees gain from your session?
  • Engagement: How will participants interact with you and each other during your session?
  • Co-presenters: If you plan to have co-presenters, who might they be and what government or organization will they represent?

How you can present

We offer a range of session formats to suit your presentation style:

  • Presentation with audience Q&A (45 minutes): Share your insights and innovations in a structured presentation, followed by an interactive Q&A session where you can dive deeper into your topic with the audience.
  • Panel discussion with audience Q&A (45 minutes): Collaborate with other experts for a dynamic panel discussion. Engage the audience through a lively conversation that provides multiple perspectives on your topic, followed by a Q&A.
  • Interactive session (45 minutes): Showcase a tool or approach in an engaging, hands-on format like a demo or workshop. Allow attendees to experience your solution in action and interact with it directly.
  • Mainstage keynote (up to 60 minutes): A bold, compelling idea that speaks to the entire FormFest audience. This is your chance to take center stage. We’re looking for visionary stories, provocative insights, or breakthrough approaches that inspire, challenge assumptions, and spark collective action. Ideal for submitters with a big idea and the presence to match.
