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.

We have teamed up with Government Matters, a multi-platform news program dedicated to providing non-partisan information and analysis on the federal government, to produce a conference ready for TV. The virtual TV conference was presented as two one-hour sessions and aired on September 29 and 30 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

GovDATAx 2021 included input from elected officials, government leaders, and civil society to maximize relevance, meaningfulness, and practicality. This year, the virtual conference focused on topics like the role U.S. efforts play in leading data modernization, aligning data needs for improving benefit delivery and strengthening anti-poverty programs, and, importantly, how data officials in government can adopt simple approaches around data governance and literacy that improve service delivery.
