What to expect
DSC Connect: The Great Digital Debate is the first event in the Digital Services Coalition's new DSC Connect series. Government and industry voices debate in two live rounds on how government buys, builds and delivers digital services. Attendees vote live, discuss at their tables and help decide which ideas hold up. The program also includes a keynote, guest judges and a closing networking reception.
The two debate topics are the future of digital services, meaning where the industry is headed and what the next generation of public services looks like, and procurement, meaning how government could buy digital services to get better outcomes.
Who should attend
Founders and teams building govtech or selling digital services to federal, state or local government, plus anyone who wants to hear how procurement leaders are thinking about change.
