offering insights, strategies and practical examples of innovation that
has real impact on government and the people they serve.

“The Granicus National Summit is an extraordinary opportunity for public

and service delivery,” said Granicus Chief Marketing Officer Susan

institutional barriers to maximize the benefits of government specific
