Conference Programme

9:00
Collaboration as the Key to Successful Digital Transformation – Panel discussion
How is digitalization of public sector progressing in the Czech Republic? Where is it heading? Is digitalization becoming a political topic beneficial or not? Does anything need to change, and if so, what? Why is digitalization costly, and why does it take so long? Do we need new computers, or just a new mindset? Collaboration on a daily basis among government agencies – and between the public and private sectors – is essential for progress in digital transformation of public sector.

Encouraging Citizens to Use Digital Government Services – and the Challenges Ahead – Panel discussion
Awareness of digital government services is growing, and while the capacity is sufficient, the question remains: are enough people using these services online? If not, why? This panel will delve into these important questions from various perspectives, including communication and marketing, user -friendliness, design processes, security and more. We will explore insights on how to make digital services more accessible and appealing to citizens.

In brief presentations, speakers will highlight key achievements, sharing what worked well – and what didn’t. This session aims to offer actionable insights and inspiration for the future.

Public Procurement in ICT – An Interactive Discussion
Is the Act No. 134/2016 a helpful instrument or a hindrance? How can we design a tender that complies with the law but also meets our actual need for a particular service or product? Based on feedback from previous conferences, we’ve prepared an interactive workshop where procurement experts will answer questions, share best practices, and provide tips on avoiding common pitfalls. Join us for an in-depth discussion on how to navigate ICT procurement effectively.
