#PSNINNOVATE
Transforming the Golden State through Innovation and Technology
As the world’s fifth-largest economy, California is uniquely positioned as a global innovation leader. Californian government entities are increasingly adopting new positions that align with innovation and transformation: Technology, Innovation, Security, and Privacy Officers, to name a few. Continued expansion of digital services – operationally and resident-facing – connects more people to the vital services that California government entities provide.
What best practices can be shared to turn threats into opportunities? How can the public sector work with intentionality to ensure internal and external collaborators’ voices are heard and their needs are met? Where can strategic partnerships be created to streamline and strengthen collaboration? And how can your organization contribute?
Public Sector Network’s third-annual Government Innovation California event will bring together government change-makers from across the Golden State and neighboring region to explore, debate, and share transformative insights related to technology, data, cybersecurity, people, and process. Join this dynamic conversation to help catalyze innovation throughout State and Local government!
