A message from our Keynote Speaker
We are excited to host the virtual West Virginia Digital Government Summit this year. Technology innovation is about ideas, and the difference between a good idea and a great idea is that a great idea is achievable. It is important for us to find those achievable ideas and see how they interrelate with every aspect of government. The key to success is to work together. Please join us as the government and technology sectors gather together online for a day of discussion, collaboration, and relationship building.
