Innovation doesn’t happen by accident—it happens when public servants come together to share ideas, test new approaches, and learn practical tools that make day-to-day work better.
Join MMASC at the Spring Forward Forum: Where Innovation Takes Flight for a high-energy day of learning, collaboration, and connection at the inspiring March Field Air Museum. This year’s program is delivered in partnership with Partners in Public Innovation (PPI), bringing a fresh, hands-on experience designed for real-world local government challenges.
At Spring Forward Forum, you’ll:
- Connect with new peers and fresh perspectives from across Southern California
- Co-create solutions in interactive, hands-on activities
- Take home practical tools to streamline work and elevate service delivery
- Wrap up with a high-energy networking mixer to keep the ideas (and connections) flying
- Earn a Lean 101 Certificate of Competition
Who should attend:
Perfect for anyone ready to strengthen innovation skills, improve processes, and build a stronger professional network across Southern California.
