Minnesota 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!
The 20th Annual Minnesota Digital Government Summit is a powerful opportunity to come together, exchange ideas, and shape the future of digital government. It’s a space where innovation meets collaboration - where public and private sector leaders unite to solve real challenges and elevate the way we serve Minnesotans. I’m excited to connect, learn from one another, and keep moving digital government forward - together.
