Bay Area Digital Government Summit 2026
Overview
The Bay Area Digital Government Summit is where innovation meets impact!
Bringing together the brightest minds in state and local government, this summit empowers public-sector leaders to explore cutting-edge technologies, modernize operations, and solve pressing challenges. From cybersecurity and AI to data governance and digital service delivery, sessions are designed to spark insight, foster collaboration, and accelerate real-world results. Whether you're shaping strategy or implementing solutions, the Summit delivers valuable peer connections and actionable guidance to help move your mission forward.
As CIO for the City of Newark, I see the Bay Area Digital Government Summit as an important opportunity for public sector technology leaders to come together, learn from one another and strengthen the partnerships that help all of our communities succeed. At a time when issues like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and technology leadership are evolving so quickly, this summit creates space for meaningful conversations, shared learning and fresh ideas. I believe the collaboration and insight this event inspires are more important than ever, and it is truly an event not to be missed.
