As a local government decision maker, you\u2019re under pressure to drive delivery of unprecedented service levels to your constituents and stakeholders\u2014while at the same time increasing efficiency. You know that your agency or department needs to digitally transform and take advantage of cloud services to do so. At the same time, you must be able to trust the technology you use to help you innovate in a secure manner across agencies, whether in the cloud or in a hybrid environment.<\/p>\n

The Microsoft Local Gov Tech Summit on November 16th<\/a> has been designed just for you. It\u2019s an online event that will help you understand how you can accelerate your digital transformation\u2014in a way that makes sense for your specific needs and with trustworthy technology.<\/p>\n

With immersive presentations and demos from our leaders, partners, and customers, the event will cover topics exclusively for local government decision makers. You\u2019ll discover how you can harness new technology to engage citizens, empower your employees, optimize your agency\u2019s operations and transform government services.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few examples of the informative sessions you\u2019ll get to experience:<\/p>\n

What is the Government Cloud?<\/strong>
\nGovernment organizations are undergoing a digital transformation. In this session, learn how Microsoft, and its ecosystem of cloud solution providers, is uniquely positioned to help local, state, and federal government organizations make this transformation.<\/p>\n

Security in Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cybersecurity continues to be a top priority for companies and organizations in the public and private sectors, driven by the high pace of change in the computing environment and uncertainties posed by future policy decisions. Leaders must constantly judge how to balance business enablement and cyber protection priorities as they support the digital transformation of their organizations. Join Bret Arsenault as he discusses examples of this balancing act in action and where Microsoft can help to improve your security posture.<\/p>\n

Exponential Government: The Future of Public Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

What we regard as state of the art today will look quaint tomorrow as exponential technologies unlock individual, organizational, and societal potential. Along the way, old organizational models crumble, and legacy cost structures stop penciling out. Understanding these shifts is imperative. This keynote will provide a tour of the meta-trends that are reshaping our communities \u2013 demographics, economics, methods of work, customer expectations and the relevance of governmental institutions \u2014 all annotated with real world examples.<\/p>\n
