Explore future digital trends at the 7th e-Governance Conference!
The 7th e-Governance Conference “A Digital Decade in One Year” invites digital leaders and decision makers from all around the world to discover where the digital governments are headed and to identify new challenges and perspectives of developing more sustainable and inclusive digital societies. The conference will be held online on 18–20 May 2021 at egovconference.ee
According to Linnar Viik, Programme Director of the e-Governance Conference, the Conference aims to provide governments with the new perspective on how to systemize the experience gained from 2020 and move forward with more sustainable digital transformation.
“The pandemic accelerated changes that are worth a whole digital decade. The governments have received a huge and very valuable experience of how to transition online and do so very quickly. Now they have to focus on how to maintain the rapid digital transformation in more sustainable way and also consider the digital responsibility the governments and corporate players have,” said Linnar Viik.
The e-Governance Conference 2021 takes a closer look at the lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic by addressing the questions raised by the new normality:
- How to keep up with the rapid change?
- What is the underlying legal framework of developments?
- What are the good examples of combining public and private sector forces?
Moreover, the Conference provides participants with the fresh look at the next normality to discover:
- How to gain trust for using, storing, and re-using personal data online?
- Will the digital responsibility principles help guide governments and corporate players towards more sustainable and inclusive digital societies?
- What are the technology trends that influence a government’s digital transformation plans and strategies?
- How do new trends, such as social listening and others, affect citizen engagement with governments?
The Conference speakers include the President of Estonia Ms Kersti Kaljulaid, the Former President of Estonia Mr Toomas Hendrik Ilves, entrepreneur and former director of MIT Startup Exchange Mr Trond Arne Undheim, Senior Economist of the OECD Mr Nicolas Ruiz, and international visionaries and practitioners with extensive experience in the field.
