DigitalGov Summit: Live From the Comfort of Your Desk

The DigitalGov platform helps federal agencies meet 21st century digital expectations, and we’ve planned our second DigitalGov Summit with this mission and your needs in mind. The theme is open and the agenda is packed with presentations about how “opening” data, content, contracts and talent makes digital citizen services better, more effective and even cheaper.

Attending Virtually

For our Summit this Thursday, we have an amazing line up of speakers and YOU can still sign-up to attend. Over the years, we’ve received lots of feedback about hosting more virtual-live events so that we can include those who aren’t in DC. This year’s livestream will allow digital practitioners from around the country to join the Summit.

Live stream participants will also hear exclusive content:

• Bernetta Reese, Web and Project Manager for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, will conduct live “red carpet” interviews with Expo exhibitors and Summit speakers.
• Exclusive interviews will be held on:
  • Open and Structured Content Modeling at the Department of Health and Human Services with Sally Dadjou, Public Affairs Specialist for HHS.
  • The Public Participation Playbook with Justin Herman, Federal-wide Social Media Program Lead at GSA.

Look for the on the schedule for live-stream exclusives.

We are also very pleased and excited to announce some updates to the Summit agenda.

Megan Smith, U.S. Chief Technology Officer to the White House, will open the conference, and a panel discussing Innovations Through Open Customer Experience Practices will close the Summit, with panelists from the Internal Revenue Service, Export-Import Bank and U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services.
