2024’s Predictions Recap: When we surveyed 250 tech employers and 1,000+ tech workers in early 2024, we asked many pressing questions, including how AI would reshape traditional tech roles and the impact of remote work on talent strategies.

What This Means, And How to Proceed: We’ll translate these learnings into strategic implications for 2025, from the tech skills that matter most, to the hiring approaches that can help you secure and develop promising tech talent.

What you’ll gain:

Early insight into emerging skill trends before your competitors start hiring for them.

A strategic advantage in understanding what really drives tech talent decisions today.

        1:00pm EST

        Tuesday, December 12th, 2023

        Evolving standards around accountability and transparency are driving the push toward digital document management systems.

With a smart, centralized records system, teams are better equipped to find files, keep track of versions and share content quickly and efficiently.

        Join Government Technology, Laserfiche and Gimmal for a live webinar on December 12, 2023, at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET to explore the tools helping agencies stay compliant and meet transparency demands.

        • Tools your agency can leverage to expedite information-requesting services
        • Records management practices that make it easy to find information and collaborate
