GovDATAx 2021

Overview

As the country emerges and recovers from the global pandemic, clear opportunities exist to use data systems and analytics to develop better policy, identify strategies that work better, and to promote trust in national systems and institutions. GovDATAx 2021 is the leading national event for the data community to identify and consider the path forward to promote sustained innovation with technology and systems modernization, while advancing practical policies for improving the lives of the American people.
