Chicago Virtual Digital Government Summit 2021
Aug 3, 2021
Overview
Government Technology's passion is promoting best practices and spurring innovation in the public sector – more important than ever in challenging times like these. The Virtual Digital Government Summit offers a unique opportunity to explore a variety of technology topics and possibilities. Please join us for a day of powerful sessions that provide inspiration, participation, education, and thought-provocation!
The conference is presented in a virtual format on Zoom for Government, a FedRAMP-certified infrastructure with advanced security controls, that is used for meetings and webinars by the Department of Homeland Security and numerous other federal, state and local agencies. Zoom for Government leverages one of the largest secured networks of government-specific datacenters in the country and meets high standards of security (Including: FedRAMP, CJIS, NIST, FISMA, SRG, FIPS, DFARS, EAR, IRS-1075).
A message from our Keynote Speaker
We are very excited to co-host this year’s virtual Chicago Digital Government Summit. We hope all local IT leaders take advantage of the opportunities the Summit offers to learn from each other, and perhaps to share the tribulations of this challenging time. As we prepare for the “new normal” we can work together to shape what that may be. I hope you take the time to attend this important conference. See you there!
– Tom Lynch, Chief Information Officer, Cook County
The Chicago Digital Government Summit is a great place to learn and share ideas. This year it is once again virtual so that everyone can participate. The Summit is an important part of our year. Please join us as we explore the critical issues that we’re facing. I look forward to seeing you there!
