Agencies are starting to realize very quickly that something needs to change, the world around them is changing at a rapid pace and they are falling more and more behind with each passing day. The idea that “if we build it they will come” will no longer suffice. Agencies need to begin to look at how they can make a drastic shift in the way they are thinking about organizational culture.

The practical side of civic technology and innovation. Hear directly from local government administrators who provide insight on what innovation is to them, challenges faced, and how governments can implement new technology approaches.
Across the country, government is starting to innovate by incorporating data, research, technology, and service design thinking into daily operations. But the teams and people doing this work are still relatively new, and often struggling to find the best way to get the work done in their locale. In this session, I’ll share what the most effective teams in this space are doing, what works and what doesn’t, and more broadly how the field is thinking and feeling about the hard work we do.

In fairness, no city ever really sleeps. Too much to do; too little time. Even as technology advances, the resource most in demand is human; people doing things that only people can do: helping others. Fortunately, both resources, technology, and people go hand in hand. Clever automation of data and processes can free up public servants to deliver better civic services and better citizen service. In fact, they already are. Let’s talk about how.

We worked hard to make sure this is a “sales pitch free” event. We want to build an experience for you to gain insight that will improve your efforts — not listen to sales pitches all day!
“We are very excited to bring a unique event to highlight and educate government mobile initiatives,” said Andrew Kirk, Chief Revenue and Operations Officer for Rock Solid. “This sales free event will allow our speakers to share best practices or the ways that they overcame the transition to mobile.”
Rock Solid, a leading mobile app platform for government that specializes in building a single access point for residents to connect more directly with their government, is hosting the summit with several “friends of the event” Including Lucity, Cityworks InPrint, ELGL and Timmons Group.
