Technology Summit 2021

Inching father into digital government? That kind of cautious advance turned obsolete last year. The pandemic hurtled us down the tracks like a runaway train. Now, we're deep into digital territory, and this year's GTA-hosted virtual Technology Summit will explore not just what it takes to keep the train on the rails, but also what you can expect on the digital horizon.

Technology types are encouraged to participate, but the relevance is broader than IT. As in years past, and this marks the ninth annual, the summit is directed toward business leaders, too, from Georgia agencies and local governments. Opportunities to network with colleagues will be sprinkled throughout, giving you valuable chances to learn from your counterparts across Georgia government facing challenges similar to your own.
