Smarter Gov Tech, Stronger MerITocracy
Apptio Public Sector Summit

Empowering Missions With Intelligent Investments

With increasing Federal focus on modernizing government, controlling costs, and heightening efficiency, agencies are focused more than ever on making smart technology investments that deliver clear mission and business value. Apptio’s 2025 Public Sector Summit will equip IT and finance leaders with the strategies they need to connect those investments to measurable outcomes.

At the Summit, leaders from across government will come together to explore how to maximize technology dollars through data-driven decision-making. This engaging, one-day event will feature a mix of insightful keynotes and dynamic breakout sessions tailored to various technology topics. Attendees will learn from real-world examples of how agencies have overcome inefficiencies and maximized the value of their technology investments – and how IBM’s suite of solutions can drive measurable results.

After the event, keep the momentum going at Nats Park, where the Washington Nationals will face off against the Baltimore Orioles at 6:45 p.m. EDT. It’s a great opportunity to continue conversations, network, and enjoy the game. We hope to see you there. (Please note tickets are not included with registration.)
