Digital Cities Survey Awards Event 2026

Please join us on November 18 as the Center for Digital Government (CDG) presents the 2026 Digital Cities Awards at the National League of Cities (NLC) Annual City Summit. The awards recognize cities leading the nation in using technology to engage residents, achieve operational excellence, and innovate the new services and approaches that improve how communities are served.

In conjunction with the awards, CDG will host a CIO Workshop at the conference, designed with and for city CIOs and their teams. This session provides an opportunity for winning IT leaders to connect and exchange ideas, practices, and lessons with peers from across the country, exploring the state of the art in local government technology for 2026.

Attendance at the Digital Cities Awards and CIO Workshop does not require NLC Summit registration. Registration for the CDG events does not include access to other NLC Summit sessions or activities. 

We look forward to celebrating the winning cities in Nashville and will share additional details as they are finalized!

This is an invitation-only event.
