Any stage of development is more purposeful if we are as aware of our present state as we are of what is to come. As the past moves
us forward, projection to the future influences what we do today. This idea is especially true in the field of digital government,
where citizens' needs and government goals move in a constant cycle of re-evaluation and self-adjustment. As we regularly expend
energy assessing digital government today, we should also look to the future and consider these questions: How will digital government
look in the next five to 10 years? What role will the public CIO play during the next period of growth and change? The panelists will
discuss and deliberate on these questions and come up with a direction for the policy makers.
Outcome
· Exploration of the challenges ahead
· Examination of the outlook for technology, digital government and the leaders involved
