International Conference on Digital Government Research – dg.o 2021, with a
special focus on the theme ” Digital Innovations for Public Values:
Inclusive Collaboration and Community“.  the Digital Governance and
Analytics Lab, the School of Public Administration, the Center for Public
Affairs Research, and the College of Public Affairs and Community Service,
University of Nebraska at Omaha, Omaha, Nebraska on June 9-11, 2021.  The
dg.o conferences are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and
demonstration of interdisciplinary research on digital government,
political participation, civic engagement, technology innovation,
applications, and practice. Each year the conference brings together
scholars recognized for the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of
their work, their contributions to rigor of theory and relevance of
practice, their focus on important and timely topics and the quality of
their writing.

THEME & TRACK TOPICS:

The 22nd Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research
(dg.o 2021) will feature the main theme of “Digital Innovations for Public
Values: Inclusive Collaboration and Community.” Public values – such as
efficiency, equity, transparency, privacy, security, trust, etc. — serve as
the compass and goals for the development and implementation of digital
innovations for public service. Recent developments in digital innovations
— such as artificial intelligence, IoT, blockchain, social networking
platforms, 5G, etc.— offer strategic opportunities for public value
creation. These digital innovations are tools for us to solve monumental
challenges facing our society such as pandemics, climate change, and
sustainable development. More importantly, there is a return to focus on
societal needs and values to guide digital innovations and to move away
from technology push only for the sake of innovations.

Specifically, the conference aims to advance research and practice of
public value creation via digital innovations by leveraging collaboration
and community-oriented solutions in an inclusive manner. Collaboration can
span the boundaries of individuals, organizations, sectors (public,
private, and voluntary), and national borders in such forms as data and
technology collaboratives, public-private partnership, and regional or
global technology standards and policies. Communities can take on a
virtual, physical, or blended form with a local, national, or global reach
such as people’s local communities and our global community of the Digital
Government Society (DGS). Community is also about taking a holistic
(community-as-a-whole) approach to integrating digital innovations such as
smart city and intelligent government. Inclusivity is about bridging
socioeconomic and digital divides in governance such as inclusive civic
engagement and e-participation. Inclusivity also entails openness,
transparency, and leveraging digital means to engage community members for
public value creation.
