A message from our Keynote Speaker

As State CIO, it is my privilege to welcome you to the 2026 Mississippi Digital Government Summit. Each year, this gathering convenes the leaders shaping the future of public service in our state, and the conversations we hold here translate directly into better outcomes for the people we serve. Together, we are building a more secure, modern, and connected Mississippi, one where technology works in service of every citizen. I look forward to the ideas, partnerships, and progress this Summit will inspire.
