Overview

Local government leaders increasingly see streamlined licensing and regulatory processes as key to driving economic growth. As a result, more jurisdictions are adopting digital platforms that can simplify complex licensing processes, speed up inspections and approvals, and provide a better experience to users when they conduct these interactions.

On May 5, Government Technology will host a live webcast to unpack the latest trends in regulatory modernization and show real-world results these solutions can produce for oversight agencies, constituents and communities. Join us for a fast-paced conversation on what effective and constituent-centric regulatory processes look like — and get important insights on how your organization can make progress on this important issue.
