Back by popular demand....bigger and better than ever!
Following the COVID shutdown, we’re delighted that the Ireland eGovernment Awards are back, celebrating 21 years of recognising and awarding the pioneers in digital government, both national and local, the people who have revolutionised how the public interacts with government and who have transformed public services.
The Ireland eGovernment Awards are the most sought after and prestigious awards, regularly attended by the Taoiseach of the day, as they honour those working in digitising government services.
Make sure to register to keep up-to-date about entries, as well as participating at our morning Summit and lunchtime ceremony on the 19th September 2024, at Goldsmith Hall, Radisson Blu, Dublin
