Event overview
Alberta’s public sector is entering a new phase of digital change. The shift from Government 2.0—focused on putting services online—to Government 3.0 requires deeper transformation in how government delivers value, uses data responsibly, and strengthens public trust. This next chapter calls for partners who can help redesign end-to-end processes, modernize decision-making, and deliver citizen-centred services at scale—across ministries, agencies, and the broader public sector.
Digital Leadership Day Alberta offers vendors a focused opportunity to connect with senior public servants shaping Alberta’s digital agenda. Hear what leaders are prioritizing in digital governance, service and policy design, and modernization, and gain insight into the outcomes they need from industry partners. Build relationships, share relevant case studies, and position your organization to support simpler, faster, and more trusted public services for Albertans.
