A message from our Keynote Speaker

As AI and emerging technologies reshape how we deliver public services, the real challenge for governments isn't just about adopting new tools; it's about aligning people, processes and priorities to harness their full potential. At the 2025 Georgia Digital Government Summit, we'll explore how to build that alignment across IT and business, as well as across agencies and roles to drive meaningful change. Whether you're leading transformation or supporting it, I encourage you to join us for expert insights, real-world strategies and valuable peer networking.
