Represent your region at FWD50 absolutely free!

We want everyone to be able to attend FWD50. For the fourth year in a row, regional government employees worldwide can claim two virtual passes to our 2023 event. To qualify, you must work for a municipal, provincial, state or territorial government and be one of the first two people to claim a pass.

We also offer content tailored to the unique challenges of Regional government. Many regions share code, work in the open, and tackle local issues, but finding others with whom to collaborate is a constant challenge. Since 2018, we’ve reserved a dedicated space—the Regional Digital Government Summit—to host these conversations with regional leaders from Canada, the US, and beyond.

How to apply

As long as you currently work for a municipal, provincial, state or territorial government—not a federal or national government—you qualify for one of the two free passes. You must be one of the first two people to apply from your region. You’ll receive a virtual pass to the entire event, which you can upgrade to an in-person pass separately if you want to join us in Ottawa.

To request your Regional Access pass, fill out the form below using your official government email address.
