DENVER, CO; ST. PAUL, MN; WASHINGTON, D.C. (PRWEB) APRIL 06, 2017

Over 1,300 attendees from across the country are registered to attend the largest event of its kind for the public sector on Thursday, April 13, 2017 to exchange best practices in embracing digital technologies to more effectively turn government missions into realities. The free event, titled “Delivering on Digital,” will be held at the JW Marriott in Washington D.C. and is hosted by the newly-combined Granicus.

The executive director of Deloitte’s Center for Government Innovation William D. Eggers will be this year’s keynote speaker, who will outline his re-imagination of government and will provide action steps to implement tech-savvy teams, strong leadership, and innovative practices to reduce the risk and truly transform government.
