Government is challenged every day to modernize, deliver better digital services and engage citizens in programs and the legislative process — all while dealing with budget cuts and dwindling resources.

How are governments across the country using digital solutions to keep up?

Granicus works with more than 3,000 government organizations worldwide, including over 100 in Florida, to help them overcome these challenges to meet their missions. This year, we’ve traveled coast to coast connecting state and local governments and sharing lessons learned.

Register now for this free training and networking event on December 7 in Ft. Lauderdale to learn best practices for:

  • Increasing your organization's efficiency by streamlining processes.
  • Improving transparency of government operations.
  • Boosting citizen engagement in, and satisfaction with, programs and services.

"The event was great and very informative. The speakers offered a lot of really good insight."
