“It’s a pleasure to welcome back public servants from Canada and around the world for this year’s AccelerateGOV conference.
As governments everywhere work to deliver better, more efficient and resilient digitally enabled public services, this event is an opportunity to learn from one other. With a stellar list of speakers lined up, we’ll explore real-world Artificial Intelligence use cases and what it takes to make digital transformation happen in an increasingly complex and fast-changing world.
We hope you will join us and take part in what are sure to be insightful discussions on accelerating digital services.”
Dominic Rochon, Chief Information Officer of Canada
About the event
Digital transformation is not a technology project: to realise the power of digital, public servants from a huge range of disciplines and specialisms must work in partnership. Organised by Global Government Forum, AccelerateGOV serves all those public service leaders and managers with an interest in digital – exploring in panel discussions and audience Q&As how staff from different professions can best promote and deliver transformed public services.
Featuring speakers from the Government Digital Summit – an annual gathering of national digital leaders – the event will provide insights, ideas and explanations for leaders in fields including policy, HR, finance, legal, commercial, research and operational delivery, alongside the core audience of digital and data specialists.
AccelerateGOV is free to attend for public servants from all over the world who are responsible for, or are interested in, transforming, digitizing and accelerating their organizations and services.
