The Future of Government: Trends, Technology, and Mission Impact

Guest Presenter:
Mike Shevlin, Senior Director Analyst - Gartner
 
During this session, we will examine how governments can future proof their operating models and governance frameworks in the face of rapid technological change, evolving digital sovereignty considerations, and rising expectations for transparency, security, and resilience.
 
This presentation will explore what the “digital state” could look like over the next decade, including how emerging technologies such as AI may shape service delivery and decision-making. Attendees will also gain perspective on how the role of government IT leadership is evolving, along with practical steps organizations can begin taking today to align with future priorities and drive mission impact.
