Government Innovation 2024 - New York | Public Sector Network | 6 November 2024 | Albany Capital Center, 55 Eagle St, Albany, NY 12207, USA

Transforming Government through Technological Progress and Collaboration.

Technology has unlocked growth, collaboration, and improvement among the State’s agencies and departments. Still, perennial challenges like resource constraints, communication breakdowns, and security concerns present roadblocks for New York’s public sector professionals.
How can New York’s State and local governments fully leverage technological innovation? What would it take to turn advancements into standard practice? And how can government retain citizen trust in a time of polarization and skepticism?

• Interact with fellow leaders and innovators in the State of New York.
