Become a Corporate Sponsor of the Digital Government Society

The Digital Government Society of North America (DGSNA) fosters the use of information and technology to support and improve public policies and government operations, engage citizens, and provide comprehensive and timely government services. We welcome members from all sectors, endorse diverse and interdisciplinary research undertakings relevant to both theory and practice, and strongly encourage practitioner-researcher exchanges at local, regional, national, and international levels. Information about the Society can be found at www.dgsociety.org.

Dg.o, the annual conference of the Society, is a unique opportunity to engage with researchers and government practitioners from around the world focused on the challenges facing governments in the digital age.  Research and practice presentations highlight cutting-edge developments in this rapidly evolving context. Discussions held throughout the conference provide attendees with the opportunity to identify and connect in new ways with colleagues from both research and practice communities. Attendees include researchers from a broad range of disciplines including computer science, information science, public administration, and public health, as well as policy makers, government officials from a broad range of public policy domains, students, and representatives of commercial organizations.

As part of its continuing program DGSNA is pleased to offer high profile sponsorship opportunities that contribute to the financial and material resources of the Society.

Why Sponsor?

Sponsorship provides organizations the opportunity to communicate their commitment to a focus on the critical questions of information and technology in the governmental context. Further, sponsorship illustrates an understanding of the need for events organized to bring together expert practitioners and leading researchers in collaborative examinations of pressing public problems.  Corporate, government, and academic sponsorships support the annual conference and provide the Society with an opportunity to explore new initiatives and engage new partners. 

Recognizing your commitment to research and practice.

DGNSA recognizes sponsors throughout the year on the Society’s Web site, as well as during the Society’s signature event; the annual conference. Each sponsor is offered a named event during the conference in honor of its contribution, as outlined in our sponsorship packages.  Additional dg.o sponsorship opportunities include keynote speaker travel and honoraria, scholarships for student participants, and prizes for exemplary research and collaboration.  All sponsors receive a copy of the proceedings and can display and distribute promotional and research materials during the meeting.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Sponsorship builds value for your organization through providing your company with unique opportunities for learning more about exciting and innovative digital government research that is paving the way for future public sector innovations.  The dg.o Conference provides sponsors with the opportunity to interact with an important group of scholars, students and executives from around the world who are engaged in and committed to democratic digital government.  This conference can generate new collaborative opportunities while strengthening your company’s reputation and relationships within the digital government community.

We offer four designated Sponsorship levels.  However, we always welcome support in other amounts, as well as multi-year sponsorships.
