DC Fly-In Attendees for Infrastructure

Technology leaders and business owners from across the nation converged on Capitol Hill for CompTIA’s 2019 DC Fly-In Feb 5-6. The two-day event kicked off with a series engaging panels, a Capitol Hill Speaker Series that featured current and former government officials, and more than 170 meetings with Members of Congress.

The central message delivered to members of the House of Representatives and the Senate concerned the role smart technologies should play in building the nation’s infrastructure. Because both Congress and the White House have prioritized infrastructure and a potential funding package for infrastructure, CompTIA wanted to make sure the technology industry was part of any discussions going forward.

“The annual Fly-In is an important opportunity to elevate our industry’s voice to policymakers in D.C.,” said Elizabeth Hyman, Executive Vice President of Public Sector and Advocacy (PSA) at CompTIA. “From rural electrification to the national highway system, America has a history of creating infrastructure milestones that have led to significant prosperity and national advantages. The future will no doubt rest on the next generation of infrastructure.”

A federal infrastructure funding package, which has been discussed but not introduced at this point, would help to modernize outdated infrastructure in a wide variety of sectors, including transportation, and energy.
