The State of Technology California Industry Forum 2026 brought together leaders from government, industry, and technology to discuss the priorities shaping the future of public sector innovation. The event provided a valuable opportunity for participants across the public and private sectors to exchange ideas, explore emerging needs, and strengthen partnerships focused on improving government services.
Key forum topics included an overview of the State Budget, continued investments in workforce development, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence to enhance government operations. These conversations highlighted the importance of aligning technology strategy with real-world agency priorities, ensuring that innovation supports more effective, efficient, and accessible services for the communities government serves.
A particular highlight of the forum was the discussion led by the California Health & Human Services Agency on its vision for advancing Coordinated Care Capabilities. The session explored CalHHS’s strategic priorities, guiding principles, and examples of current partnerships that are helping improve how health and human services are delivered across California.
The conversation reinforced a central theme of the forum: meaningful progress depends on collaboration. By bringing together public agencies, industry partners, and technology leaders, events like this create space for shared learning, stronger relationships, and practical solutions that can support better outcomes for Californians.
IFG Events is proud to support forums that foster these important conversations and help accelerate innovation across the public sector. As government technology continues to evolve, continued collaboration between public and private sector leaders will remain essential to building more responsive, connected, and effective services for the communities we serve.
