We are excited to announce the 2026 Senior Executive Leadership Summit, taking place April 7–8, at American University in Washington, D.C.

This year’s theme - Merit, Accountability, & Performance (MAP): Navigating the Future of Federal Leadership - reflects our collective mission to strengthen executive leadership and chart a bold, principled path for government excellence.

In an era defined by rapid change, evolving workforce needs, and emerging technologies, our senior leaders stand at the forefront, ensuring the federal enterprise remains accountable, agile, innovative, and mission-driven. The SEA Leadership Summit will bring together federal executives, thought leaders, and strategic partners to share insights, exchange strategies, build and sustain the leadership capacity needed for a resilient, high-performing public service.

We value your partnership and leadership within this community; more details on programming and sponsorship opportunities will be available soon. Together, we will continue advancing a strong, empowered, and future-ready federal leadership corps.

Federal employees of all grades are invited and encouraged to attend!
