WELCOME

The curtain came down on yet another successful annual event. We bid goodbye to the rapidly growing, impressively transforming and undoubtedly beautiful city of Medellín, Colombia, the city which hosted the ICA 50th Golden Anniversary Conference during the 13th-16th of November.

The Board and Programme Committee, along with our National Delegations and the participants who actively took part in the conference programme, would like to extend a warm thank you to this year’s host, the Colombian Ministry of ICT (MINTIC) and to the dedicated organizing staff that made sure this event was memorable for all attendees.

 

A special note of appreciation goes out to the Minister of ICT, Mr. David Luna who made time to honor this year’s gathering with his presence during the closing event of the ICA Conference; while fully attentive was the National Representative and Colombia’s Vice Minister of ICT Mr. Daniel Quintero who was actively involved throughout the programme themed Digital Government: Designing for the citizen experience.

 

We welcome you to this special Conference edition of our Newsletter and hope you enjoy it!

Country Reports…
 

This year’s Country Reports, for those who were unable to attend the conference, focused on how governments define Open Government and the strategies designed to implement it. The ways each government’s strategic planning is influenced by suppliers, customers and their legal framework. They looked at the considerations and allowances concerned in order to implement Strategy Plans for delivery of services within the evolving technologies (leveraging of Cloud; 4G/LTE/5G; IOT and social media, instant messaging and the like). And finally addressed how open data is made accessible at cross-agency, national or multi-national level.

 

Country reports are available online to registered members.
