Georgia 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!
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.
