The Gov Tech Revolution Is Here


Technology is advancing with leaps and bounds. What was cutting edge even months ago can feel outdated, slow and antiquated today. This poses a problem for government: how can agencies meet their modern missions without modern technology?

As technology creeps up the priority list for government leaders day by day, it's now critical that public servants of all roles and functions are familiar with the solutions out there and the value they can bring to their work.

Watch on demand now for a full day of virtual learning where we'll explore technologies that are making a real and immediate impact on how government gets its work done.

You'll hear from top thought leaders, access hundreds of free resources, network and knowledge-share with your peers and earn up to five continuing professional education (CPE) credits. There is absolutely no cost to register or attend, and zero travel required.

How will technology drive your agency forward in 2020?
