Regional Digital Government Summit

New for 2019, the Regional Digital Government Summit is a place for provincial, state, and municipal government leaders to focus on the unique opportunities and obstacles they face. Chaired by some of North America’s digital government pioneers, join this intimate gathering of under 100 executives within FWD50.

The summit will cover a wide range of topics, including de-risking technology projects in the public sector, a digital government maturity framework, procurement and process changes needed for transformation, building talent capabilities and learning programs, and much more.

This event is open to all attendees of FWD50, however, participants will be asked to sign in at the door so that the nature of the event is understood, the room is secure, and we can keep in touch.
