What’s In Store for 2023
The future of Texas has never been brighter! As the Lone Star state thrives due to technological growth and innovation, public sector leaders are providing the opportunity, workforce, and leadership to deliver the vision of a Texas-sized tomorrow. Government Innovation Texas offers attendees the chance to learn from public sector leaders across Texas and explore innovative solutions for the challenges public servants around the state encounter.
Public sector leaders are looking for novel ways to modernize their efforts – with technology likely to be at the forefront of their minds after the last several years of challenge-inspired innovation; accelerated further by ongoing national & world events. Information technology modernization and how it supports digital transformation remains significant. How will Texas navigate modernizing platforms, leveraging data and analytics? What do we need from our leaders to get the job done? How will technology, data, digital transformation, AI, and the workforce continue to evolve?
Public Sector Network’s Government Innovation Texas event will convene public sector leaders across all levels of government, and from throughout the state and region to share their innovative ideas and cutting-edge initiatives and projects. This one-day, in-person program provides the ideal space for networking and sharing best practices – join the conversation!
