The GovX Virtual Awards bring together the leaders reimagining how people experience government. As expectations for faster, simpler and more personalized interactions continue to rise, agencies are finding new ways to design and deliver services around the people they serve. GovX is where government innovators, technology leaders and mission owners come together to explore what’s working, what’s next and how emerging technologies are changing the government experience. From AI-powered services and personalization to intuitive digital experiences and smarter service delivery, GovX 2026 will spotlight the strategies, technologies and real-world projects raising the bar for government.

Here’s what you’ll take away from GovX 2026:

• A look at what great government experiences look like now — Explore standout approaches to digital services, permitting, benefits, community engagement and more across states and localities.
• Practical insight into how AI and emerging technologies are changing the government experience — See how agencies are making services more intuitive, responsive and personalized — and what they’re learning along the way.
• Real-world lessons from government innovators — Go behind the scenes of successful initiatives to understand what worked, how teams made it happen and what others can take from their experience.
• Ideas you can put to work in your own organization — Leave with actionable approaches for reducing friction, improving service delivery and creating experiences that better meet people’s expectations.

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.
