The Summit is CDG’s premier annual event that showcases the latest trends, best practices and ideas around the evolving experience of government. Registration is complimentary and open to the public sector only.
“With citizen and employee expectations continually evolving, government agencies are leveraging new technologies and processes to drive innovation through their digital experiences,” said Dustin Haisler, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, Center for Digital Government. “The leading government experiences have retained a human-centric approach to service delivery, incorporating digital equity, accessibility and inclusion into all of their experiences.”
This year's winners have redesigned websites and simplified services with Single Sign-On, cloud-based platforms, enhanced accessibility and mobility features, and one-stop portals. Winners used mobile apps, dashboards, chatbots, and digital service analytics to improve constituent experience in many areas including e-pay, housing, homeless solutions, licensing/certification, property management, public health, real-time crime centers and the transparency of government information.
