Government Innovation
Pennsylvania
Wednesday, September 14, 2022 | 8am ET
Harrisburg, PA
Event Overview
Transforming Government Through Technology-Driven Initiatives
In the midst of historic unpredictability, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania faces yet another significant disruption: the election of its first new governor in eight years. Rapid, large-scale change presents challenges—but also opportunities to take stock of innovative systems and ideas that have modernized the Commonwealth over the past eight years. By improving collaboration between agencies, the government can better operate at its fullest innovative potential – and maximize the opportunities at hand.
How can public sector employees harness contemporary and forward-looking innovations? What best practices exist for ensuring equitable distribution of services? And how can government agencies retain citizen trust in a time of transition?
These are the kinds of questions Public Sector Network’s Government Innovation Pennsylvania program will explore. This one-day event is the ideal meeting place to collaborate, discuss current trends, and learn best practices related to people, processes, technology, and data. Join the conversation!
