Talks

I have spoken internationally about government, technology, and innovation, ranging from conferences such as SXSW and the US Conference of Mayors to universities and institutions such as the World Bank and Stanford.

I tend to talk about how governments are changing, and using technology to do more with less in the 21st century — and how public servants and entreprenuers can take advantage of that.

If you are looking for insight on government technology, innovation, or civic engagement at your next event or conference, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
