Digital transformation is more essential now than ever for state and local governments, as well as higher education institutions. Only a few years removed from a period of crisis decision making and sped up timelines, technology leaders are continuing to chase modernization and digital expansion and ready to embrace the change that comes along with it.VIRTUAL EVENT
In addition, citizens continue to clamor for a better digital experience, meaning government agencies and universities are required to modernize and transform at the same time, all while trying to keep up with — and embrace — emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
This virtual summit will bring together technology leaders from across higher education, as well as state and local governments to explore the ongoing challenges they face while embracing IT modernization and digital transformation. Leaders will gather to discuss improving digital services, modernizing technology, embracing change and developing a workforce to support future-ready growth.
