What’s In Store for 2023
The State of Arizona is known for being a pioneer by both reputation and practice. There is no challenge that its public servants cannot address head-on. A new gubernatorial administration presents an exciting opportunity to examine existing challenges with a fresh lens, however change can also bring uncertainty.
Arizona, like many states, has numerous urgent and often competing priorities to tackle. Issues like potentially harmful and untested emerging technologies, privacy and security vulnerabilities, and increasing environmental challenges all require significant resourcing and institutional knowledge to address.
How can Arizona’s public sector leaders address and conquer these significant challenges? What lessons can the State’s professionals share with each other to operate synergistically? How can government entities engage with all Arizonans to build and retain trust and bridge historic divides?
Public Sector Network’s second annual Government Innovation Arizona event brings together government professionals from all tiers from across the State and region to explore dynamic topics and share relevant insights related to technology, data, people, and process. Transformation and true innovation are best achieved with a broad cohort of partners sharing their knowledge and expertise to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Join this exciting conversation and help accelerate innovation in the Grand Canyon State!
