As the world enters the fifth industrial age, transforming the public sector has become an urgent priority. This shift necessitates innovative strategies to ensure that public servants are aptly trained in privacy and security issues. This adaptation is critical as we continue to accelerate our move to digital platforms, where safeguarding personal data is paramount.

This fully in-person summit will welcome up to 1,000 professionals involved in public sector transformation, security, and privacy, offering them a unique opportunity to discuss how we securely live, work, and play in the digital era.

This year’s summit will highlight, “Strategies for Public Sector Transformation in the New World of Artificial Intelligence,” and will spearhead the intellectual odyssey. This summit brings together visionaries, experts, and innovators to explore the intricate intersection of advanced artificial intelligence with critical privacy and security imperatives.

Keynote sessions, interactive workshops, and collaborative panels will unravel the complex challenges and opportunities ushered in by our digital age. Participants will gain insights into creating strategies that seamlessly integrate AI advancements with an unwavering commitment to individual rights, data sovereignty, and technological trust.

Training public servants on issues of privacy and security is emphasized throughout the summit. The event aims to provide attendees with practical strategies to protect data effectively, ensuring that as digital platforms proliferate, the public sector continues to uphold trust and integrity.
