Event Overview
Transforming Government through Technology Driven Initiatives
Technology has evolved into a critical driver of change that matters. For this to progress, there is an increasing need for technology to become a competitive advantage. Whether it has been shifting to online, or the increased need to make all services accessible, technology has emerged as a critical component. That reality has injected a renewed importance and new urgency into modernizing the technology function.
The government can no longer afford the long timelines and disappointing returns that have hampered many of the technology projects of the past. Solutions should be implemented to realize long-term benefits and capture the full potential of technology innovations. Excellence in information technology is a prerequisite for excellence in the public sector. It is an ongoing challenge to find the right tools, infrastructure hardware, and systems that result in successful information technology projects and pivoting existing infrastructures.
Public Sector Network invites you to join the conversation at our Virtual Event: Government IT Insights: Fall Edition. We will bring together public sector thought-leaders as they examine how technologies play an integral role in launching new projects and being a catalyst of change.

Adaptive Accessibility and Inclusion in Technology: Making Innovations in Technology Work for All
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts continues to face the reality that not all the benefits of technology are accessible to all.

Join Julia Wong as she outlines key initiatives for getting started with your own technology accessibility programs and how those who have begun their journeys – can properly tune their initiatives for success.
