This round we are looking to you—federal innovators across government—to help build the agenda. We want to get you the information you need, ignite discussion, foster sharing, build capacity, even get you to challenge and debate each other in the name of delivering better digital services. So, we’ve set up a \u003ca href=\"https://crowdhall.com/h/299/\"\u003ecrowdsourcing platform\u003c/a\u003e where you can suggest presentation ideas and vote for your favorites.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"step-1-think-up-a-great-idea\"\u003eStep 1: Think Up a Great Idea\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image image-right image-right-legacy\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2014/12/250-x-250-Light-bulb-with-colorful-Social-Media-icons-VLADGRIN-iStock-Thinkstock-187440476.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Light bulb with colorful Social Media icons\"/\u003e\u003cp\u003eVLADGRIN, iStock, Thinkstock\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe\u0026rsquo;re looking for forward-thinking ideas, and we’re emphasizing creativity and innovation. Got a great program—or part of a program—to share? Did you hear about someone else’s great program that you want to learn more about? Do you wish someone solved a problem you’re facing and want to tap the wisdom of the crowd? Want to tell your story in front of your peers? Now’s the time to crystallize your idea. ​\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis year’s theme is \u003cstrong\u003eopen\u003c/strong\u003e.

We might want to ask you to clarify, for example. No worries if you submit an idea without a speaker. We want to know what you want to know! We can work to find a great presenter on the topic. During this time, you’ll also be able to vote on submissions as they come in.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"step-3-vote-on-great-ideas\"\u003eStep 3: Vote on Great Ideas\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image image-right image-right-legacy\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2014/12/250-x-250-Colored-hands-bymandesigns-iStock-Thinkstock-186921434.jpg\"\n    alt=\"Multi-colored hands reach upward as if volunteering for something or to indicate each person is present\"/\u003e\u003cp\u003ebymandesigns, iStock, Thinkstock\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn February 1, 2015, we’ll open up the voting floodgates (and close to new submissions).
