Event overview
New York State is entering a new era of public sector transformation. With a historic $1.05 billion technology investment, the state is reimagining how government delivers services to meet rising constituent expectations. From the new Empire AI Consortium to $90 million for IT upgrades, the focus is clear: secure, ethical, and people-centered innovation.
These priorities take center stage at the fourth annual Government Innovation Showcase in Albany on November 5th. The 2025 program features deep dives on responsible AI adoption, transparent procurement, and future-ready IT, with tracks covering Data & AI Modernization, Digital Services, public cloud security, and human-centered design. Attendees will gain actionable insights through keynotes by state leaders, interactive roundtables, and global perspectives—bridging strategy and implementation.
With 26% of the workforce retiring by 2029 and $56.5 million invested in next-gen talent, this is the moment to collaborate, upskill, and drive change. Join fellow innovators for this complimentary full day event and contribute to shaping New York’s digital future.
