Last month, I attended the NASCIO 2024 Midyear conference and I learned a lot about what state CIOs are prioritizing this year (hint: there were a lot of AI conversations).

In this quick dispatch episode, I reflect on my experience with my colleague Stacey Sveum.

We cover:

• What it was like “speed dating” state CIOs

• How state CIOs are thinking about simplifying their programs

• Why government organizations seem to be at the forefront of the AI conversation
