Georgia Digital Government Summit 2019

Sep 23 - 24, 2019
 Atlanta, GA

Overview

Government Technology's passion is helping spread best practices and spurring innovation in the public sector. The Georgia Digital Government Summit is designed to do just that. The summit has an advisory board that gathers public sector and private sector leaders to create an agenda that is relevant and actionable to the state and local government organizations attending the summit. Participants tell us they use the inspirational keynotes, leadership discussions, networking breaks, and timely topics discussed in the numerous breakout sessions to help advance the goals of their organizations and their own career paths

Topics Include:

  • The Government Experience Today
  • Cybersecurity Strategy, Risk and Response
  • Smart Communities & 5G
  • The Future of Work
  • Navigating the Cloud
  • Citizen-Centric Design
  • Accessibility and the Engaged Citizen

A message from our Keynote Speaker

As technology continues to transform the way government does business, the Georgia Digital Government Summit offers a timely opportunity for IT leaders to come together to discuss today’s challenges and share innovative solutions. With outstanding speakers and engaging presentations, the agenda is well suited for both IT staff and agency business leaders. The Summit has earned a reputation as a can’t-miss event and I hope you’ll plan to attend.

– Calvin Rhodes, Chief Information Officer, State of Georgia
