Celebrating Innovation That's Making a Difference

Join us for an inspiring evening to celebrate groundbreaking achievements in public sector technology at the 12th annual FORUM Innovation Awards! This spirited event honors the programs that truly demonstrate game-changing innovation across the Health, Federal Civilian, and Defense markets.

What is the FORUM Innovation Awards?

The FORUM Innovation Awards recognize the technology programs, teams, and leaders who are actively transforming how government serves citizens and accomplishes critical missions. This isn't about what might happen someday—it's about celebrating solutions that are operational today, delivering measurable results, and setting new standards for what's possible in public sector technology.

For over a decade, the FORUM Innovation Awards has been the premier platform for recognizing excellence in government technology implementation. We honor the teams who turned complex challenges into breakthrough solutions, the leaders who championed innovation against resistance, and the programs proving that government technology can be as dynamic and effective as any private sector initiative.

A Multi-Dimensional Celebration

Our program includes:

Panels and Fireside Chats - Engage with government and industry leaders as they discuss the future of public sector innovation, share implementation insights, and explore emerging technologies reshaping how agencies operate.

FORUM Innovation Awards Ceremony - Witness the recognition of this year's most impactful technology programs across Health IT, Federal Civilian, and Defense sectors. Each winner represents proven innovation that's making government more efficient, secure, and citizen-focused.

Premium Networking - Connect with the decision-makers, innovators, and technical leaders driving government technology forward. Networking opportunities before and after the ceremony provide meaningful time to build relationships that extend beyond the event.

What Makes the FORUM Innovation Awards Special

Unlike awards based solely on submissions or nominations, the FORUM Innovation Awards recognize programs with demonstrated impact. Winners have deployed solutions, achieved measurable results, and proven their approaches work in the complex reality of government operations.

The event combines celebration with substance—honoring achievement while facilitating the conversations and connections that drive continued innovation. It's where government and industry come together not just to applaud success, but to understand how it was achieved and how it can be replicated.
