What’s In Store for 2024
The State of Colorado is known by both reputation and practice for being a pioneer. As a result, public-sector leaders are seeking transformational improvement in service delivery for their citizens and residents. Technology has unlocked countless opportunities for growth, collaboration, and improvement among the State of Colorado’s agencies, departments & beyond.
Transformation and true innovation are best achieved with diverse collaborators, authentic communication, and a shared, inclusive technological baseline. Tremendous opportunities exist for Colorado’s public servants in the realms of improving process, digital accessibility, managing data, recruiting and retaining new generations of talent, and aligning and upgrading technology.
How can Colorado’s public sector leaders address and overcome these significant challenges? What lessons can the State’s professionals share with each other to operate more collaboratively and effectively? How can government entities engage with Coloradoans to restore resident trust and bridge historic divides?
Public Sector Network’s Government Innovation Colorado event will bring together government professionals from across the State and region to tackle these dynamic topics and share relevant insights. Join this exciting conversation and help accelerate innovation in the Centennial State!
