Government Technology's passion is helping spread best practices and spurring innovation in the public sector. The Indiana 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:
Each year, the Indiana Digital Government Summit brings together leaders from all levels of government – cities, towns, counties, state and even some involved in federal government. We get such a great cross-section of attendees that bring unique perspectives on the problems we each face. What I truly enjoy about the summit is being able to exchange knowledge and solutions with everyone.
