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!

Key Sessions
Data Sharing is Caring
Public sector agencies, departments, and jurisdictions must share their respective data and findings in-order for government to operate at its fullest potential, regardless of where the data originated. In practice, however, this is not as simple as it may seem. Learn how successful data sharing initiatives have been designed and executed, why collaboration between government entities leads to success, and how you can facilitate enhanced data sharing from your position.
Interactive Thought Leadership Keynote: The Ethics of Data
The continued ubiquity of data in modern life will continue to have repercussions that reverberate throughout our lives; many times in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. As Government usage of data – and particularly of citizen’s data – continues to expand; the ethical and responsible use of that data becomes ever more essential.

What opportunities can you foresee and how do we ensure that any advancement in AI implementation within the Federal Government is working to the benefit of the American people?
