Government Innovation 2024 - Colorado | Public Sector Network | 8 October 2024 | Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center, 1420 Stout St, Denver, CO 80202, USA

Transformation and true innovation are best achieved with diverse collaborators, authentic communication, and a shared, inclusive technological baseline. Tremendous opportunities exist for Colorado’s public servants in the realms of improving process, managing data, recruiting and retaining new generations of talent, and aligning and upgrading technology. Intense dichotomies within the State can stymie change. Stark urban-rural divides, asymmetric technology access, and a politically divided constituency are prime examples.

How can Colorado’s public sector leaders address and overcome these significant challenges? What lessons can the State’s professionals share with each other to operate more collaboratively and effectively? How can government entities engage with Coloradoans to restore resident trust and bridge historic divides?

This event will bring together government professionals from across the State and region to tackle these dynamic topics and share relevant insights. Join this exciting conversation and help accelerate innovation.

Benefits of Attending:
• Examine innovative systems and tools to boost modernization efforts
• Learn how Colorado’s public employees are humanizing digital experiences for all residents
• Discover how to boost innovation and continuous improvement in your department
• Explore bold public safety initiatives currently underway across the Centennial State
