ITAC is pleased to again be supporting FWD50, a global conference on Digital Government happens November 7-9 2018 in Ottawa.

This year, technology thought leaders from over 15 countries come to Ottawa to answer one simple question: How can we use technology to make society better for all?

While the conference includes a wide range of workshops, keynotes, unconferences and breakouts on every facet of digital innovation, this year includes a deep focus on AI and data science, digital identity, Blockchain, and digital governance.

ITAC was a founding partner of the conference in 2017, and we’re thrilled to be supporting the event once again.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

• Many ITAC members are sponsoring the conference—there are only a handful of opportunities left. If you want to help make the event happen, contact the organizers here.
• Even if you’re unable to sponsor this year’s edition, we encourage you to be part of the conversation regardless and are pleased to offer a 15% discount on conference passes for ITAC members. To receive this discount, please use this link.
• Got a talk to give (that isn’t a product pitch?) The Call for Proposals is open until September 10.

It’s said that a rising tide lifts all boats. And digital government is a high tide of unprecedented proportions.

FWD50 is the biggest gathering of public and private sector digital government experts in Canada, and we encourage all our members to get involved and support it.
