Simplifying California's Conflict of Interest Code
Every state and local agency in California must adopt a conflict of interest code that identifies all officials and employees within the agency who make governmental decisions based on the positions they hold. In this session, we'll cover a detailed overview of how technology can make this process easier than ever.
Elvin Webb, Product Manager, Granicus
Modern meeting management goes beyond automating the creation of agendas and minutes. As digital transformation becomes inevitable for local governments of all sizes, you have a unique opportunity to engage residents better than ever before while replacing aging systems that create silos and inefficiencies between departments.
Jay Vickers, General Manager of Legislative Solutions, Granicus
Can Meetings Be Automated? How Local Govs Make Meetings Less Painful
Engaging with your residents with digital tools allows you to reach diverse audiences, be more inclusive, build trust, and increase efficiency. In this session, participants will learn about a comprehensive approach to community engagement that maximizes efficiency while building community trust.
Michelle Stevens, Engagement Manager at Bang the Table
Moving Beyond Open Mic | Building Efficiencies through Public Engagement
In government, we often put vanity metrics at the forefront of our decision-making. What is our open rate? How is our online experience? While these digital experiences are important, they are a means to the most important goal: saving lives, serving more families, or bringing more people to safety. This session will cover real stories of how governments used technology and digital tools creatively to accomplish their missions.
John Duckwitz & Caitlin McCrea, Granicus
How Digital Transformation Can Drive Outcomes
Unlike private companies, government must serve all people – across every demographic and region. There’s no other option for connecting and driving action than a multi-channel, sophisticated approach to reaching broad (and often, hard-to-reach) audiences.
Angy Peterson, Vice President of Granicus Experience Group
Bringing All People Across the Finish Line
Digital solutions best work together, and it takes key partnerships and leadership across multiple functional areas to make this happen. In this session, we’ll explore how digital platforms work together and how to create a truly seamless experience for your customers and for staff.
Charles Mallory, El Segundo, Echa Schneider, City of Berkeley, Betsy Burkhart, City or Walnut Creek & Astra Kredel, Silicon Valley Power
Government Leader Panel: Strategy + Technology
Learn the best practices for enforcing home-sharing and short-term vacation rental (STR) regulation. Host Compliance has helped over 100 communities in California have successful STR programs, and this session will contain highlights from our experience.
Ulrik Binzer, General Manager - Compliance Services, Granicus
Short-Term Vacation Rental Compliance & Enforcement Simplified
There are more benefits to effective short-term vacation rental compliance than preserving community character. It’s also a hidden source of revenue recovery. Discover how communities like Placer County have generated over $1 million dollars in additional Transient Occupancy Tax, while creating a more even playing field for all forms of lodging, with their short-term vacation rental programs.
Ulrik Binzer, General Manager - Compliance Services, Granicus
The Revenue Collection Opportunity Your Community Is Missing
Implementing or improving a new short-term vacation rental compliance program can seem daunting, but there are small steps you can take tomorrow to get started. We will cap off the day with steps you can take tomorrow to start having an amazing STR Compliance program.
Ulrik Binzer, General Manager - Compliance Services, Granicus
