A message from our Keynote Speaker
I am excited to announce that the partnership between the State of Mississippi and Government Technology will continue in hosting the Mississippi Digital Government Summit for the tenth year. This event provides an excellent forum for IT Government leaders to interact with our industry counterparts to facilitate a dialog with the goal of providing the citizens of Mississippi an improved level of government service delivery through innovative technology. I cordially invite and encourage you to join us and take part in the virtual conversation while also hearing from multiple dynamic keynote speakers.
