This year's theme, "The Smart Government Revolution: Inclusivity, Proactivity and Sustainability", set the tone for the fifth edition of the Digital Government Congress (CGD)On March 12th and 13th, the Barcelona International Convention Center (CCIB) was filled with energy and innovative ideas. With more than 1.400 attendees, 93 sessions and a total of 58 hours of content, the congress was a space for lively debate, where knowledge was shared and the great challenges of the digitalization of the public sector were tackled. The fifth edition of the CGD had the participation of 235 speakers, of which 45% were women, and with the collaboration of 38 sponsors.
Diversity of profiles and participating entities
One of the most outstanding aspects was the diversity of profiles that participated. A 42% of attendees were managers and public management managers, 36% were technicians, lawyers and secretaries-auditors, while 19% represented other professional profiles and 3% were elected officials.
As for the entities, we saw a very varied representation. A 48% came from the local world, 20% from the Generalitat de Catalunya, 9% from universities and research centers, 7% from civil society and other entities, and 16% from companies linked to the digital and technological world. This mix of sectors enriched the debates and brought new perspectives to digitalization.
Unforgettable sessions and key topics
Among the most outstanding sessions, there is no doubt that the inauguration, with the presentation “Where we come from and where we are going", in charge of Genís Roca marked the line of the congress. It was an inspiring moment, which put on the table the challenges and opportunities that await us in the digitalization of the public sector. Another session that surprised was “How to generate folds in minutes with AI“, where it was shown how artificial intelligence can revolutionize the way we manage administrative documents. And, of course, the presentation on “The elDAS2 digital identity model” delved into the evolution of digital identity and its direct impact on the way we manage our public administration.
Attendees rated the experience with an average of 9 10 on, highlighting the quality of the presentations, the relevance of the topics covered and the networking opportunities. However, areas for improvement were also identified, such as managing the capacity of the most popular sessions, avoiding overlapping presentations with longer transit times between rooms, strengthening the dissemination of the APP and improving Wi-Fi and guaranteeing more breakfasts because the revolution is making us hungry!
With these results, the CGD is consolidated as a key event for the digital future of public administration. A space that fosters innovation, debate and collaboration between professionals in the sector, with the common goal of building a smarter and more digital government.
