Event Overview
Government in the twenty-first century generates and amasses an overwhelming – and exciting – amount of data from all areas of public life. Leveraging this data unlocks the potential for better, faster, and more equitable government policies and services. Complexities abound, however. Government data professionals face common organizational challenges including resource constraints, staffing, and communication, in addition to issues of data literacy, data quality, and privacy & security.
How can Federal leaders best leverage data to enable better policies and services for their residents? Where are Federal data leaders searching for quality talent? What strategies best cultivate a data culture in current staff – and why is it vital to encourage all public sector employees to have a basic level of data literacy?
Public Sector Network’s Federal Data Roadshow will bring together public sector data professionals from across the Federal Government to discuss these questions through a range of cross-cutting sessions and interactive roundtables. Join your peers in conversation to share your thoughts and innovative solutions!

Designing a Secure and Robust Data Governance Policy
A solid data governance policy is the bedrock upon which every data department is built. These policies facilitate trust from both internal and external stakeholders, enable successful collaboration, and help public sector data leaders organize and understand their assets. Join this conversation to hear how Federal data practitioners built their data governance policies and establish best practices for top-notch data governance approaches.
