Route Fifty Tech Summit 2019

Whether lowering costs, increasing efficiency, or delivering improved citizen services, technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data analytics are transforming the way state and local governments operate and deliver services. As technology increasingly becomes a cornerstone of government, how do technical leaders not only keep up with the latest technologies but also harness the entire ecosystem of partners, platforms, and vendors to deliver the best results for employees and citizens? At the Denver Tech Summit, Route Fifty will convene technology leaders from state and local government to collaborate directly with their peers across the region on common technology challenges. Attendees will leave with practical insights for implementing new technologies and valuable connections in solving common challenges.
