Canadian Government Executive - Volume 24 - Issue 02

POST-EVENT REPORT 2018 | www.techgov.ca | 28 28 / Canadian Government Executive // March/April 2018 TECHGOV forum Transforming the way services are pro- vided by governments to match the extent people are interacting with technology is a top priority for any government. Citizens have come to expect and demand that their governments change with the rapid advancement of technology to equal the digital methods they are accustomed to in their everyday lives. This evolution is not new, but one that has been widely discussed and is in dif- ferent stages of implementation around the world. In Canada, it is no different. Events, forums, conferences, meetings, workshops, and other mechanisms are being used to further this transformation. And this was the case at the recently held TECHGOV forum. With its mandate to promote public sec- tor excellence, Canadian Government Ex- ecutive (CGE) has been instrumental over the years in providing the stage to discuss a wide range of issues, policies, services and strategies that can aid in public sector ad- ministration. In its first TECHGOV forum, building on its successful CGE Leadership Summit, CGE hosted a two-day conference on technology and government. “This event was about supporting service delivery, people and innovation,” said J.
