Event Overview

As we begin to break free COVID’s confines, a “renewed normal” has begun to take shape across the country.

Now more than ever, public sector innovation is critical – from policy design to service delivery, new technologies and data usage. By leveraging new approaches to old problems, governments stand to improve their performance and responsiveness to the unique challenges of today. We must ensure that recovery is both fast and equitable. However, this requires us to collaborate, share ideas and accelerate innovation throughout the public sector. If we do this, governments stand to deliver world-class services to all stakeholders, and the best outcomes for citizens.

In that spirit, Public Sector Network invites you to join the conversation at our Government Innovation East virtual event. Here, we’ll spotlight top leaders and their initiatives from across the Eastern United States that will inspire and motivate you to keep reaching for excellence! Gain the ideas, the inspiration, and the practical knowhow needed to drive innovation in this new era of public service.

“A great collaborative day. It was interesting to share journeys and challenges from other agencies and to hear from agency leaders. ”
