What’s new & returning for 2025

You told us what makes the biggest difference in your experience, and this year’s agenda reflects exactly that. Every session was carefully selected to help solve real-world challenges you face in your role, led by top speakers in the industry.

Here’s what you’ll see in this year’s lineup:

  • Session tracks & levels: You’ll see clear, color-coded tracks like “Accessibility, Diversity & Inclusion,” “Public Safety, Crisis or Trust,” “Brand & Content Strategy,” and more — all designed to help you quickly find what’s most relevant to your work. Each session is also marked as beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
  • Concurrent breakouts: Up to three sessions running at once! Pick what fits your needs at the moment, then revisit others later with your included 3-month on-demand recording access (with options to upgrade if you want extended time).
  • A smarter way to plan your time: Add sessions directly to your calendar so nothing slips through the cracks.
  • Our official GSMCON app is back: Navigate the agenda, connect with fellow attendees, engage with speakers, and stay updated in real time—all in one seamless place. All attendees will get access prior to the start of the conference!

Agenda snapshot

GSMCON is more than just a conference—it’s the go-to event where government social media professionals come to solve real challenges, build confidence in their strategy, and connect with others who understand the pressures and purpose of this work.

Across 2.5 days of official programming, you’ll learn directly from 40+ industry leaders who bring practical advice, innovative tools, and powerful stories to help you elevate your role — whether you're a team of one or part of a larger agency.

Sessions are built around the topics that matter most to your day-to-day work:

  • Managing a crisis when every second counts
  • Getting meaningful results from your analytics
  • Leading with transparency and earning public trust
  • Strengthening your agency’s brand and message
  • Navigating legal and ethical boundaries of AI on social
  • And much more!

Each day, all attendees will also meet for General Session keynotes and panel discussions. There are no concurrent sessions during General Session programming, so all attendees will meet (either in person or virtually!). 

Plus, all attendees get 3-month on-demand recording access to most session recordings, so you can revisit key takeaways or catch what you missed, with options to upgrade your access length.
