Created with the goal of fostering new connections, stimulating innovation and highlighting cutting-edge tech, the California Government Innovation Summit represents a transformation of the annual Digital Government Summit.

It will run from 8 a.m. through 4:45 p.m. Tuesday at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento. Registration and other details are available online.
“This change embodies our dedication to driving technological innovation across all areas of government,” the event announcement says. “With the support of the California Government Operations Agency, we’re proud to bridge the gap between technology and business leaders.”
Highlights of the event include opening remarks from Liana Bailey-Crimmins, state chief information officer and CDT director; and Amy Tong, GovOps secretary and former state CIO. Afternoon discussions will include “Bits and Bytes — Middle-Mile: Uniting Communities Through Broadband,” a conversation with Scott Adams, CDT deputy director for broadband and digital literacy; Mark Monroe, CDT deputy director for middle-mile broadband; and Rob Osborn, director of the communications division of the California Public Utilities Commission.
