Connecticut Digital Government Summit 2025
Overview
The Digital Government Summit is an event that brings together public sector leaders and technology professionals to explore innovative solutions to solve government problems. Key themes include cybersecurity, digital transformation, AI implementation, data governance, and fostering collaboration across multiple stakeholders. Attendees will benefit from expert discussions, peer networking, and insights into the future of government technology. Join us and let’s improve the future of government together!
Technology enriches our lives every day. We can no longer imagine what it would be like to provide government services without it. Join me and the leaders driving public sector improvements across the state at the 9th annual Connecticut Digital Government Summit. This Summit provides a unique opportunity for government and technology leaders to discuss our common challenges, learn from industry innovation, and collaborate to better serve our State’s residents. This Summit is relevant to all governmental leaders and practitioners who wish to improve the services we provide. I hope you will join me in building the next generation of government this September in Hartford, Connecticut.
