Before leaving office, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper urged fellow government officials to attend this year’s Accelarate in his home state for the sake of driving “better government.”
“Whether it’s about rolling out new registration portals, curbing the harmful health effects of a poor environment or attracting and retaining motivated, innovative and talented staff, governments everywhere are learning how to strengthen communities to grow businesses, to modernize operations and to protect residents.” Hickenlooper said. “But with society evolving at the speed of light, we must continue to keep talking to each other and learn from each other, which is the very purpose of Accelarate.”
