Building Resilience Through Collaboration and Innovation

In times of uncertainty and limited resources, resilience becomes the cornerstone of organizational success. This forum explores how fostering collaboration and leveraging innovation can strengthen adaptability and sustain progress in challenging environments. By prioritizing teamwork, diverse perspectives, and creative problem-solving, organizations can uncover opportunities to do more with less and maintain mission-critical goals.

This year’s FORUM will be kicked off by our State CIO, Bill Kehoe. The rest of the day will be filled with multiple concurrent informational sessions. You will be able to interact with industry/agency leaders and technical experts on topics related to resilience, collaboration and innovation. These sessions are designed to be of value to technology staff, business staff, and management.

FORUM 2025 also will include IPMA sponsor booths, and an area set up for collaboration with your peers and strategic partners.

The agenda is coming soon.

Lunch will be provided to all registered attendees. There will also be an optional networking/social event at the conclusion of the day’s program.

Admission is free, but registration is required.

‘Weathering the Budget Storm’ is an interactive day, bringing together state employees and IPMA sponsors to engage in presentations and discussions on navigating the state’s financial challenges, while still being innovative and providing services to Washingtonians.
