Government Technology’s passion is helping spread best practices and spurring innovation in the public sector. The Colorado 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 designed to make that passion 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.
This Year’s Topics Include:
As public servants and leaders in IT, we have the great responsibility to deliver digital solutions and services that enable our agencies to serve our most important customers - those who live, work and play in Colorado. The annual Colorado Digital Government Summit provides us with the opportunity to learn from the speakers and each other about solutions that have the ability to elevate our communities.

Concurrent SessionsPrivacy vs. Security: Do We Have to Choose?Capitol Ballroom 1It’s been said that the debate between privacy and security is over, and privacy lost. But there are pressures pushing us in that direction, including: transparency, open data, national security, public safety, social media and consumer information. An astounding amount of our personal information is in the hands of third parties, including government agencies. This session ponders one of the hottest issues of our times and what it means for the public sector. Jill Stacey, Data Privacy Analyst, Department of Education, State of Colorado Best in Class – Denver’s Awarding Winning PortalCapitol Ballroom 2The City and County of Denver’s website, denvergov.org, won first place in the City Portal category of the Center for Digital Government’s 2016 Best of the Web award competition.

Featured Speaker – Exponential Government: The Future of Public ServiceCapitol Ballroom 4Alan Cox, Executive Vice President & Publisher, Government Technology magazine ex·po·nen·tial (adjective): becoming more and more rapid. The world we’ve known is changing at exponential speed. The iPhone has eclipsed the Blackberry, mobile devices are displacing PCs, the cloud is radically challenging long-held assumptions about data centers, and the Internet of Things is redefining connectivity. What we regard as state of the art today will look quaint tomorrow as exponential technologies unlock individual, organizational, and societal potential. Along the way, people get scared, old organizational models crumble, and legacy cost structures stop penciling out. Understanding these shifts and how they differ from previous shifts is imperative. This session provides a tour of the meta-trends that are reshaping our communities – demographics, economics, methods of work, customer expectations and the relevance of governmental institutions – all annotated with real world examples. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of what Exponential Government will look like, how it will act, and why your actions today can lead you to a preferred exponential future and a more perfect union. |

Concurrent SessionsSecuring the Citizen ExperienceCapitol Ballroom 1In the face of highly visible public and private sector breaches, organizations must build trust in government services and assure a secure, positive citizen experience. We are moving from traditional and mobile applications that provide static content to more convenient and interactive online services. As this shift occurs, we must effectively secure data, and deliver robust services through identity management. This session will explore provocative ideas on how organizations can balance risk while assuring usability and adoption. Nick Kittle, Chief Innovation Officer, Adams County Greg Sowa, Director, Sales, Socrata Trevor Timmons, Chief Information Officer, Secretary of State’s Office, State of Colorado How to Create Responsible Digital CitizenshipCapitol Ballroom 2We live in a world of citizens who expect constant connectivity and engagement, but are we prepared to be responsible Digital Citizens? This session will discuss the importance of educating the new Digital Citizen and the role that government, educators, and IT professionals have in meeting the challenges and opportunities in bringing our culture together in a truly connected environment. Steve Clagg, Chief Information Officer, Information Technology, Aurora Public Schools Fred Sargeson, General Manager, Colorado Interactive, LLC Intelligent Transportation and Its Impact on GovernmentCapitol Ballroom 3Everyone will be impacted by connected vehicles, autonomous cars and other disruptive technologies in our transportation systems. It may feel like the Jetson’s have finally come to fruition but it’s all very real. This leads to the question on many people’s minds: Is government ready? This session will take you on a ride through the future of transportation and explore the role of government in exploiting, controlling and surviving the hyper-connected world of the “Highway of Things” and how it will affect our communities.
