Massachusetts IT Leadership Forum 2026
Overview
The Massachusetts IT Leadership Forum is where tomorrow’s government leaders grow today.
This invitation-only gathering brings together state and local IT executives, emerging leaders, and visionary thinkers for candid conversations on the future of public-sector technology. Focused on leadership development, innovation, and strategy, the Forum goes beyond the tech to address the people, policies, and practices shaping digital government. Through peer exchange and practical sessions, participants gain the insights, relationships, and skills needed to lead their organizations and communities into the future.
Effective leadership is crucial in today's world of rapid digital transformation, and as public sector IT leaders we learn so much from one another. We're excited to continue our partnership in 2026 with GovTech to foster IT leadership collaboration across all levels of government in Massachusetts. By convening IT leadership from state and municipal agencies, we continuously build on the powerful partnerships that drive innovation, foster growth, and develop high-performing teams. I look forward to this collaborative opportunity on April 16 in Framingham, and look forward to connecting with all of you.
